And tonight you fight no evil
And tonight you right no wrongs
And tonight you dream no dreams
And tonight you sing no songs

And right now you see a preacher
At the line two platform
You see him wielding his symbols
You hear him speaking in tongues

But no, don't be fooled
By the people
That you meet
Deaf dumb and blind
See them roaming
These streets
Baby don't be fooled
As you take 'em
Under your wings
And your bedsheets
Oh this town is torn apart
Baby not unlike our hearts
It's a modern babylon

See the hustle of the workers
Mixing blood and gasoline
And you see them trading their wings
For a brand new set of wheels

And you see the crowded sidewalks
More like bona fide catwalks
For all kind of fashion crimes
I guess we're all chasing thrills

No, don't be fooled
By the people
That you meet
Deaf dumb and blind
See them roaming
These streets
Baby don't be fooled
As you take 'em
Under your wings
And your bedsheets
Oh this town is torn apart
Baby not unlike our hearts
It's a modern babylon
