I Was Raised In Babylon

E
  I was raised in Babylon
E
  Our priests taught us how to worship the sun

     A                 E
  Wo! Where did we go wrong?
B                           A                         E
  They used to call us civilised – but those days are gone

E
  I came to guard the Pharaoh
E
  Bring him wine and women

     A                  E
  Oh Lord! Where is he now?
B                        A                                E
  We used call him the highest – till the wave took him down

E
  I was born in the Holy Land
E
  They told me it was by God's command

    A                       E
  Wo!    Where are the others from?
B                              A                       E
  I thought that we were the chosen – I must've been wrong

E
  I loved to march with the Sultan
E
  And his diamond turban

        A                      E
  Oh Lord! Then the world took hold
B                           A                    E
  Let go of the rope of God – for a handful of gold

E
  I used to serve the Empire
E
  On which the sun set, never

      A                    E
  Oh!     Now times have turned
B                                   A
  We thought our white skins would save us –
                E
  Then we got burned
