"What is up and.." 
"Let me tell you something brother" 
"I am both confused from here, alright!" 

G                    A 
I'm leaving this babylon 
G                    A 
I'm leaving this babylon 
G                    A 
It will not be for long 
G                    A 
It will not be for long 
G                    A    G A 
Says my people are starving 
A               G        A G A 
But the money's running 
G                    A         G A 
I said Jah people are starving 
A               G        A G A 
But the money's running 

G                    A 
Say the dollar dollar drop down real low 
G                    A 
And you ain't got no gold to show 
G                    A 
Gonna take the shit right nice and low 
G                    A 
We're not gonna come back no more 
G 
I said the politician's lying 
A 
The people always dying 
G                    A 
And nothing's ever gonna change 
G 
I said my momma's always cryin' 
A 
Sister's always lying 
G                    A 
And nothing's ever gonna change 

A                G            A 
That's why I say turn me loose 
G                    A 
Turn me loose 
G                    A 
Take the sheet's off from off my feet 
G                                 A 
I wanna run to the rhythm and the beat 
G                    A                   G 
Cause it's so long since I've had you by my side 
A 
Oh Lord 
G                    A                G   A 
But I wake and take this fighting anymore 

G                    A 
So I'm leaving this babylon 
G                    A 
I'm leaving this babylon 
G                    A 
Will not be for long 
G                    A 
Will not be for long 

G                    A 
You can hear my rhythm 
G                    A 
Even my Irene 
G               A G                    A 
They are the ones who will satisfy you oh Lord 
G                    A 
And they will try 
G                    A 
Try in every way Lord 
G                    A 
To run your life 
G                    A 
Mmm, trouble in the land
