Well, I say...
I'm leaving this Babylon.

Say I'm leaving this Babylon,
I'm leaving this Babylon.
It will not be too long now,
It will not be too long.
I said my people are starvin,
but your money's runnin.
I said my people are starvin,
but your money's runnin.

I say your dollar, dollar drop down real low,
You ain't got no gold to show.
We gonna step right through that door,
Not gonna come back no more.

I said the politician's lying,
My mama's just a-crying,
And nothing's ever gonna change.
My papa's just a sighing,
My sister's just a-lying,
And I ain't got nothin to say, no...

Well, I say...
Well, I say...
Natty dread go away...
Natty dread leave today...

Marching, march down Babylon...
