American Babylon Lyrics

Just another day here in paradise

I snooze the sound telling me it's time to rise

I grab my phone lay alone and look at lives

Of people living bigger and better than mine it's

Time to grind the nine to five so I

Fix my tie and walk outside my eyes

Blinded by the sun in the sky

But my shades about as fly as the Tesla I drive

On my way running late but hitting the brakes

Backed up bumper to bumper happens every day

Maybe I should get away, take another holiday

Take another loan that I know I will never repay

But I'll be climbing up the ladder if I can impress

The right people they'll be filling my pocket with cash

Then I can buy all the finer things in life

Finally satisfied or I am believing a lie?

Welcome to American Babylon

Flex your strength as you feel the fire come

Stomp on the poor for nothing more

Than your shiny car and your pretty girl

But when the walls come falling down

You call on your gods they forgot to save you now

Trust in the lust of the flesh to free you from

This cage in American Babylon

This cage in American Babylon

This cage in America

Just a couple days till it's Friday night

Fill a cup getting drunk till I feel the high then I

Come to find it's a matter of time

It'll fade the next day when the sun will rise

Made it through work now I'm back at the house

I put the Netflix on and I sit on the couch

Thinking about how everything is stressing me out

Like the gravity is grabbing me and pulling me down

Yeah cause I've been tired I just wanna retire and buy a beach house sitting outside by the fire

On the back deck no stress watching the sunset

With old friends wishing we were young again can

I defy my fate at night I lie awake

Wonder why my days are full of decay

Till my life is taken away by the grave

While I'm blind to the light in front of my face

Welcome to American Babylon

Flex your strength as you feel the fire come

Stomp on the poor for nothing more

Than your shiny car and your pretty girl

But when the walls come falling down

You call on your gods they forgot to save you now

Trust in the lust of the flesh to free you from

This cage in American Babylon

This cage in American Babylon

This cage in American Babylon

This cage in American Babylon

This cage in America
