Cat Stevens I Was Raised in Babylon ft. Richard Thompson

I was raised in Babylon Our priests taught us how to worship the sun Wo Where did we go wrong They used to call us civilised but those days are gone I came to guard the Pharaoh Bring him wine and women Oh Lord Where is he now We used to call him the highest till the wave took him down I was born in the Holy Land They told me it was by Gods command Wo Where are the others from I thought that we were the chosen I mustve been wrong I loved to march with the Sultan And his diamond turban Oh Lord Then the world took hold Let go of the rope of God for a handful of gold I used to serve the Empire On which the sun set, never Oh Now times have turned We thought our white skins would save us then we got burned
