Babylon Burning Songtext
von U‐Roy

We′ve got the creator of deejay music with us here tonight
It's the man who gave you hits like "Wear You To
The Ball", "Wake The Town" and "Tell The People"
I′m sure he'll tell you about the rest
Brothers and sisters
For the music maker from Kingston, Jamaica
Good gracious me, it's U-Roy!

Whoa, thank you, Bob
Here I come again, ya
Big wheel keeps on turning
And the brown mary keep on burning
(I′ve reached the turning point, Lord-Lord-Lord)

So, what I tell you, say
That the big wheel, a keep on turning
And natty dreadlock gonna keep on earning (Whoa!)
I said, the big wheel gonna keeps on turning
And you know, sister, that Babylon burning

Gonna burning, burning, burning (Yeah, ya)
And burning, burning, burning


I say, towards light from the east come the signal for peace
I′m saying, I say to you, sister, that Babylon burning
Big wheel keeps on turning, round 'bout the way
While the brown mary keeps on burning (Whoa!)
Keep on earning
And natty dreadlocks a keep on earning (Yeah, ya)

Watch the little light from the east
And I say it′s the signal for the peace
So, so, natty dreadlock, make you keep on earning (Whoa!)
But you know, sister, that Babylon burning

So, burning, burning, burning
Well, I tell you, burning, burning, burning

Don't spread no propaganda
Stick a glance over yonder
When I take a glance over yonder
And they couldn′t see the, see the, see the, see the, see the
Fire right on ya

So, say, the big wheel keep on turning
So, mi say that, natty dreadlock, make you keep on earning (Whoa!)
And you know, sister, that Babylon burning (Yeah)
And Babylon burning


I've reached the turning point, Lord-
Lord-Lord-Lord, in my life (Listen)
I′ve reached the turning point, Lord-
Lord-Lord, in my life (Tell 'em, Roy)
I've reached the turning point, Lord-Lord-Lord
Inna-inna-inna Babylon
