Voices Catching Up/Lompoc Song by John Trudell Lyrics
Last rush in Babylon
Voices catching up, voices catching up
Watch out child, watch out child
Babylon falling down falling down
Society a broken promise
Economies war citizen whores
Political pimps
Leaving us flat on our backs
Trading today
Waiting for the promised land
Roles playing roles
Covering every days fear
Going off to work
Having the job done on us
In the eyes of God
Building the bomb
Loving thyself hating thyself
In the illusion
Voices catching up, voices catching up
Watch out child, watch out child
Babylon falling down, falling down
Caligula laughs loudly through time
Twisting love to get at the sexes
Class is material consumed
Designer worlds
Create electric impulses
Turning down life the real goodbye
See it in our face, see it every place
Last rush in Babylon
Voices catching up, voices catching up
Watch out child, watch out child
Babylon falling down, falling down
Arms Race
Jacks boots pounding earth
Military precision
Dissecting elements of life
Taking apart instead of healing
Generals and Gods
Fascists and oil wells
Man images and machines
Petrochemical societies
Trying to hide the sun
Jack boots pounding earth
Creaking leather boots
Dead cows crying
In a world turned
To a planetary slaughterhouse
Wandering amongst the opulence
Wondering what not to touch
Times not knowing time getting bit
Times of temptation times of seduction
Wandering in the poverty
Touched by everything
Knowing the bite
No time for temptation
Only time for doing
Babylon in terror
World run over by machines
The economics of captured dreams
The rich are the poorer
While the poor are waiting
Everyone pretending to live
Calling exploitation progress
Calling submission freedom
Calling madness profit
Calling earth a plan et
Plaguing her with civilization
Alone
We see you in your loneliness
Sometimes we wonder which is lonelier
Being along together or being lonely alone
With no protection that you know of
Principles replaced by nothing
The lies becoming desperation
Outrageous violence
Internal and external
Forming distractions from life
Making the loneliness
A new type of alone
Alone with your machines
Alone with your fear
Alone with your oppressor
Alone with roles played
Alone from the past
Alone from the future
Stranded in the universe
Separated from earth sun moon sky
With only God to comfort you
While he sanctions war and greed
Messengers clubbing you
Heavenly threats and promises
A basis for exploitation or everything
Even yourself
Giving up together
Surrendering Alone
Voices catching up, voices catching up
Watch out child, watch out child
Babylon falling down falling down
Society a broken promise
Economies war citizen whores
Political pimps
Leaving us flat on our backs
Trading today
Waiting for the promised land
Roles playing roles
Covering every days fear
Going off to work
Having the job done on us
In the eyes of God
Building the bomb
Loving thyself hating thyself
In the illusion
Voices catching up, voices catching up
Watch out child, watch out child
Babylon falling down, falling down
Caligula laughs loudly through time
Twisting love to get at the sexes
Class is material consumed
Designer worlds
Create electric impulses
Turning down life the real goodbye
See it in our face, see it every place
Last rush in Babylon
Voices catching up, voices catching up
Watch out child, watch out child
Babylon falling down, falling down
