[Verse 1] As war drums beat in Babylon Cinnamon girl starts to pray I have never heard a prayer like this one Never before that day Tearful words of love for people she had never met before Asking God to grant them mercy in this face of a holy war [Chorus] Cinnamon Girl [Verse 2] Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage Never knew the meaning of color lines 911 turned that all around When she got accused of this crime So began the ma** illusion, war on terror alibi What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie? [Chorus] [Bridge] Don't cry, don't shed no tears One night won't make us feel Because we know how this movie's ending [Chorus] [Verse 3] As war drums beat in Babylon And scorch the blood red sky Militants bomb the foreign gun Both sides truly die Cinnamon girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores Then she prays after the war that there will not be anymore [Chorus]
