First Bus to Babylon - Hugh Cornwell

God it takes so long

You have to be so strong

When they try to prove you wrong

Get the first bus to Babylon

You wanna be alone

You try to disconnect the phone

Try to bury every bone

Get the first bus to Babylon

How can it be when you want to be free

There’s a conspiracy working around you

Children can tell what we know very well

They believe in the spell they’re on the bus

When we’re dead and gone

When we get where we belong

And we’ve sung the final song

Get the first bus to Babylon
