Making Babylon Great Again
© Dan Sullivan - April 2017

There’s a baby crying who hasn’t been fed
There’s flies buzzing all around his head
The wheel is spinning and the sun is beating down
There’s a mother in Flint falling apart
And a woman in Sudan with a broken heart
Looking for love in a world where it can’t be found

How many wars will it take before
They see that nobody wins
How many madmen with their fingers
On the trigger does it take to reap the whirlwind

Poisoned water, poisoned air
They’ve poisoned hearts everywhere
Golden treasure is their only measure of worth
All their cities will be turned to ash
The end will come in a lightning flash
Destroying all the destroyers of the earth

How many days will it take to make
Babylon Great Again?
How many madmen with their fingers
On the trigger does it take to reap the whirlwind

The Mother of bombs is shaking the earth
Like the far-off echo of an ancient curse
Great Babylon has fallen and smoke is rising high
There’s a thousand crosses in a field in France
Where the cries of the wounded and a trumpet blast
Mournful sounds coming out of a darkened sky

How many days will it take to make
Babylon Great Again?
How many madmen with their fingers
On the trigger does it take to reap the whirlwind

He’s making Babylon Great Again
Smoke is rising on pillars of wind

Some people like gardening, working on cars or woodworking. Others enjoy knitting, collecting stamps or coins. That kind of thing. I like writing songs.
