We wave our flag with our heads held high
There's no left choice but for us die
It all crumbles as the palm trees flow
It's a place of privilege if your in the know
We tear it down, and we build again
This is now, and that was then
I never trust you but I still give love
To the ones who live and rise above
We spit on teachers, we spit on veterans
No value for lives, just for dividends
We wave our flag with our heads held high
From Boyle heights to the swanky hillsides
This is where the rich people play
We all watch as they decay
Affordable plastic surgery disasters
You all bow down to your masters
This is where the real people stay
We send those fools straight to their graves
We split up families, we spit on immigrants
No value for lives, just for dividends
This is a place of filth
This is a place of greed
This is the place I love
This is the place I need
I was born and raised in this very place that's killing me
California Babylon like a needle in the arm of the map
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
This is where I live, I love this fucking place
The wealth, the waste
(California Babylon)
This is is the time, this is the place
It's where I live in this demented state
The rich, the poor, the place I love, this is the way
(California Babylon)
This is a place of filth
This is a place of greed
This is the place I love
This is the place I need
I was born and raised in this very place that's killing me
California Babylon like a needle in the arm of the map
