Mike Love Babylon Control lyrics

Lyrics
" I dreamt last night that the end had come
I was searching everywhere for food but there was none
Bodies laying burned in the midday sun
Nowhere to hide... Nowhere to run...

I went to the city but the city was gone
Irradiated with hatred and destroyed by a bomb
Behold the brilliant colors of the nuclear dawn
But there is no song... All has gone wrong...

And when I awoke I could clearly see
The seeds of this vision Jah had given me
Planted deep within these aristocracies
Hypocrisy... Power and greed...

So wake up to the fact that they're controlling you
Whether or not your doing what you want to do
The system that you're living in is doomed
Jah knows it's true and I man I know it's true

And I'm just telling you this, because I love you breddren
Through and through I man true until the very end
The sweeter the kiss... The stronger the poison...
And this is the reason that I idrens are dying for nothing

It's Babylon control... It's Hollywood mind control...
They target the youth ! I'll show you the proof !
Come on see the truth ! It's written on I man soul...

It's News media control... Political mind control...
Get under your skin ! They're wearing you thin !
But you no give in ! For not all that glitter is gold...

And in my vision I saw incurable disease
Genetically engineer by hateful enemies
All of this in the name of power and money
How could this be... The future for we ? ...

The green and mighty forests of the Amazon
The lush valleys of Hawaii are dead and gone
The once abundant and fertile land of Babylon
Now sand and stone... Stripped to the bone....

Oh come quickly ! They're taking away our paradise !
Separating us from the source of all lives
Poisoning the seas and polluting the skies
Ignoring the cries... Promoting the lies...

So now that this vision has come into your life
I hope you will take up your part in the fight
Against those who seek to turn our day into night
You know it's right... So stand up and fight...

And I'm just telling you this, because I love you my sistren
Through and through I man true until the very end
The sweeter the kiss... The stronger the poison...
And this is the reason that I idrens are dying for nothing

It's Babylon control... It's Hollywood mind control...
They target the youth ! I'll show you the proof !
Come on see the truth ! It's written on Rasta man soul

It's News media control... Political mind control...
Get under your skin ! They're wearing you thin !
But you no give in ! For not all that glitter is gold

I have been fooled before... But now I 'n' I know !
The difference between believing in what I man feel
And believing in what I been told
'Cause their propaganda it burns like wildfire
They use it to turn brother against brother

It's Babylon control... It's Hollywood mind control...
They target the youth ! I'll show you the proof !
Come on see the truth ! It's written on Rrr...

It's news media control... Political mind control...
Get under your skin ! They're wearing you thin !
But no be victim in this empire of glittering fool's gold

It's Babylon control...
It's Hollywood mind control...
It's news media control... Political mind control...
Get under your skin ! They're wearing you thin !
But no be victim in this empire of glittering fool's gold "
