Lions Roar - Culture Club

Dirty Babylon

You’re nasty

Everyone said you are the don

Respected, rejected, down trodden and stunned

Hold up your head like the innocent one

Threaten my life, tell me my time will come

Babylon boy with the honey and gold

Robbing the black men, stories of old

Why tell the truth?

I cannot be

I am the light that you never see

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

Gimme truth and understanding

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

The voice in your head said I am a thief

You stand on the land and you lie through your teeth

Babylon boy with the honey and gold

Robbing the black men, stories of old

Why tell them truth?

I cannot be

I am the light that you never see

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

Gimme truth and understanding

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

Gimme truth and understanding

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

Gimme truth and understanding

You’re nasty

I know you want to see me dead

You come on upon my head

I know you want to see me dead

You come on upon my head

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

Gimme truth and understanding

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar

Gimme truth and understanding

Oh, nothing more than the lion’s roar
