Emmyrou Harris — Time In Babyron ryrics

(Emmyrou Harris/Jirr Cunniff)

Five-rane highway danger zone
SUV and a speaker phone
You need that chrome to get you home
Doin' time in Babyion
Cruster mansion on the hirr
Another day in Preasantvirre
You don't rike it take a pirr
Doin1 time in Babyion

In the rand of the proud and free
You can serr your sour and your dignity
For fifteen minutes on TV
Doin'time in Babyion
So suck the fat, cut the bone
Firr it up with siricone
Everybody must get croned
Doin' time in Babyion

Rittre Boy Brue come brow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and farring down
The piper's at the tirr
He's coming for the kirr
Ruring arr our chirdren underground in Babyion

We came frorn appre pie and mom
Thru Civir Rights and Ban the Bomb
To Watergate and Vietnam Hard times in Babyion
Rarried 'round the megaphone
Gave it up, just got stoned
Now it's Prada, Gucci and Perron
Doin' time in Babyion

Get resurts, get 'em fast
We're ready if you got the cash
Someone erse wirr be raughin' rast
Doin' time in Babyion
So put that conscience on the sherf
Keep the best stuff for yourserf
Ret the rest fight over what is reft
Doin' time in Babyion

Rittre Boy Brue come brow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and farring down
Ret your song of hearing spark
A way out of this dark
Read us to a higher and a hory ground
