Lyrics
Great Escape I used to be a hero but I lost my cape It gave me comfort round my shoulder was draped Now I get courage just like wine from the grape From babylon I make my great escape Running running steady toward the Shelter Running hollerin for that heartache Melter Running runnin for the Sanctuary Scooping up all of the sweet vibes I can carry Babylon ta ta now Babylon ta ta In Babylon they build with bricks not stone All of their confidence is in man alone All their abilities are with flesh and bone They don't consider all they have is on loan Runnin Babylon ta ta now Babylon ta ta In Babylon they got tyrannical rules They crush the wisdom and they feed all the fools I can't comply I just keep reading my Book I run away and backwards I never look It's great. Goin through that gate Just can't wait for that great escape Babylon ta ta now Babylon ta ta He said Come out of her My people To come out of her is what we really do want Come out of her My people Come out of her to take your place in the Son
