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.

 

+  repeat CHORUS

 

      Em

+  Back to the rhythm that we all came from,

      G                               D                      - A

    voices of Babylon, streets of London.
