How can the wicked smile while the world is burning How can they turn their eyes and walk away How can the blue bloods hide, while brothers k**ing brothers Why do they divide I and I for diamonds and gold The dreams of children they float to the sky And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise Tell me why oh why are we so blind The treasures of love lay buried inside Tell me why oh why do we deny The chains of Babylon are all in our mind The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining The wind of Jah will scatter them away The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining Jah will scatter he who has no shame The dreams of children they float to the sky And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise Tell me why oh why are we so blind The treasures of love lay buried inside Tell me why oh why do we deny The chains of Babylon are all in our mind Tell me why oh why are we so blind The treasures of love lay buried inside Tell me why oh why do we deny The chains of Babylon are all in our mind
