Wires and Watchtowers - Thievery Corporation

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 killing 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
