Come we go burn down Babylon one more time
(Come we go burn down Babylon one more time)
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)
For them soft! Yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
Them soft! Yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)!

Men see their dreams and aspiration-a
Crumble in front of their face
And all of their wicked intention
To destroy the human race

And how I know - and how I know - and that's how I know
A Reggae Music, mek we chant down Babylon
With music, mek we chant down Babylon
This music, mek we chant down Babylon
This music, come we chant down Babylon

Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon one more time)
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)
For them soft! Yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
Them soft! Me say, Them soft! (ah-yoy!)
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)!

Me say, Music you're - music you're the key
Talk to who? Please talk to me
Bring the voice of - of the Rastaman
Communicating to - 'cating to everyone

How I (know) - how I know, how I (know) - how I know 
And that's how I know
A Reggae Music, chant down - chant down - chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon, chant down Babylon
Chant down Babylon!
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon!
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon!
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon!
Reggae Music! (chant down Babylon)
