[length: 04:48]
[00:21.44]Oh great mammon of form and function
[00:23.97]Careless consumerist consumption
[00:26.27]Dangerous dysfunction
[00:28.38]Described as expensive taste
[00:30.63]I’m a people disgraced
[00:33.14]By what I claim I need
[00:34.58]And what I want to waste
[00:35.66]I take no account for nothing
[00:37.72]If it’s not mine
[00:41.27]It’s a misappropriation of funds
[00:43.52]Protect my ninety percent with my guns
[00:46.26]Whose side am I on?
[00:48.30]Well who’s winning?
[00:50.87]My kingdom’s built with the blood of slaves
[00:53.83]Orphans, widows, and homeless graves
[00:55.66]I sold their souls just to build my private mansion
[01:00.56]Some people say that my time is coming
[01:03.81]Kingdom come is the justice running
[01:06.40]Down, down, down on me
[01:10.13]I’m a poor child, I’m a lost son
[01:15.32]I refuse to give my love to anyone,
[01:20.17]Fight for the truth,
[01:22.62]Or help the weaker ones
[01:25.13]Because I love my Babylon
[01:30.14]I am a slave, I was never free
[01:35.23]I betrayed you for blood money
[01:40.29]Oh I bought the world, all is vanity
[01:45.49]Oh my Lord I’m your enemy
[02:01.79]Come to me, and find your life
[02:10.56]Children sing, Zion’s in sight
[02:20.76]I said don’t trade your name for a serial number
[02:23.83]Priceless lives were born from under graves
[02:27.84]Where I found you
[02:30.94]Say, my name ain’t yours and yours is not mine
[02:33.92]Mine is the Lord, and yours is my child
[02:38.07]That’s how it’s always been
[02:41.48]Time to make a change
[02:42.90]Leave your home
[02:44.14]Give to the poor all that you own
[02:46.60]Lose your life, so that you could find it
[02:51.47]First will be last when the true world comes
[02:54.86]Livin’ like a humble fool to overcome
[02:56.47]The upside-down wisdom
[02:58.97]Of a dying world
[03:01.53]Zion’s not built with hands
[03:03.80]And in this place God will dwell with man
[03:06.33]Sick be healed and cripples stand
[03:08.80]Sing Allelu
[03:10.62]My kingdom’s built with the blood of my son
[03:13.83]Selfless sacrifice for everyone
[03:16.34]Faith, hope, love, and harmony
[03:20.54]I said let this world know me by your love
[03:25.91]By your love
[03:31.36]Oh my child, daughters and sons
[03:35.78]I made you in love to overcome
[03:40.16]Free as a bird, my flowers in the sun
[03:45.19]On your way to Mount Zion
[03:50.17]All you slaves, be set free
[03:55.45]Come on out child and come on home to me
[04:00.28]We will dance, we will rejoice
[04:05.24]If you can hear me then follow my voice
