A widdly wo-oh
So many of my fathers children
A widdly woh widdly woh
They’re living n a Babylon situation
A widdly wo-oh, oh-oh-oh
Mother Earth Children
Living in a Babylon situation
My Father Children
Tell me, Do they know where they’re coming from
All the nation living in these tenements
Crying and applying to the council for assistance
Their tribulation it’s so sad
Their environment it is so bad
High Rise Concrete, no back yard for the children to play
Mother Earth Children
Living in a Babylon situation
My Father Children (down there)
Do they know where they’re coming from
All the people living in these tenements
Pre –cast stone wall cubicle
Is where they live now
Their rent increasing every other day
Austerity measures a suck out them pay
Living so maager on the 27th floor
Longing for the next place to dwell
Mother Earth Children (down there)
Living on a Babylon situation
My Father Children
Tell me, Do they know where they’re coming from
Mother Earth Children (down there)
Living on a Babylon situation
My Father Children (down there)
Do they know where they’re coming from

And don’t stop from talk fi make them know we want change
Chant down Babylon, shape the next stage
And don’t stop from talk fi make the tings re-arrange
Come make we chant down Babylon and help turn the page
And don’t stop from talk fi make them know we want change
Chant down Babylon, shape the next stage
And don’t stop from talk fi make the tings re-arrange
Yah yay, want change, want change
Chant down Babylon , Yay yay, Chant down Babylon
