1. Hit the message, I can
hear you calling,
D A
no one‘s
going anywhere tonight.
A
We conceived a modern
generation,
D - A
it was free but now we pay the price.
A
2. We‘re the victims of our own creation,
D
A
chasing rainbows that are painted black or white.
A
Watch the struggle of our own
temptation,
D A
instincts barely
keeping us
alive.
Em
Back to the rhythm that we all came from,
G D - A
voices
of Babylon, streets of London.
Em
Back to the people that we know so well,
G D A
a
space in time removed too soon to tell.

3. Just a product of imagination,
D A
patiently we wait for our turn to come.
A
A small collection of the
population,
D
A
by the
time our number‘s up, we could be gone.
Em
Back to the rhythm that we all came from,
G
D - A
voices
of Babylon, streets of London.
Em
Back to the people that we know so well,
G D A
a
space in time removed too soon to tell.

voices of Babylon, streets of London.
