American Babylon

lyrics
Do what you want. 
Do what they say.
Freedom's on it's way.
And in the end, it'll be there anyway.
Say what you want.
But watch what you say.
Be sure if it's okay.
Because everyone here, is all listening in today.
Are we living in American Babylon?
In Babylon, today our love, our guilt, is pardoned.
Are we living in American Babylon?
In Babylon, today the human heart has hardened.
Running a race that seems to have no end.
The prize is on display.
Can't remember how to live day to day.
What's right and what's wrong, nobody can defend
and tell you if it's okay.
Because in the end, it's all forgiven anyway.
Are we living in American Babylon?
In Babylon, today our love, our guilt, is pardoned.
Are we living in American Babylon?
In Babylon, today the human heart has hardened.
And as we listen to the rain fall down,
on saturated ground.
We thank ourselves for all we found.
As we start believing what we say,
our children won't obey. 
They've fallen down.
Walked among the crowd today.
The sky was cold and gray.
I know love can brighten any day.
Are we living in American Babylon?
In Babylon, today our love, our guilt, is pardoned.
Are we living in American Babylon?
In Babylon, today the human heart has hardened.
