How can the wicked smile while the world is burning
How can they turn their eyes and walk away
How can the blue bloods hide, while brothers killing brothers
Why do they divide I and I for diamonds and gold
The dreams of children they float to the sky
And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise
Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind
The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining
The wind of Jah will scatter them away
The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining
Jah will scatter he who has no shame
The dreams of children they float to the sky
And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise
Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind
Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind
How can they turn their eyes and walk away
How can the blue bloods hide, while brothers killing brothers
Why do they divide I and I for diamonds and gold
The dreams of children they float to the sky
And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise
Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind
The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining
The wind of Jah will scatter them away
The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining
Jah will scatter he who has no shame
The dreams of children they float to the sky
And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise
Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind
Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind

Ignorance is best met with humor. This response is hilarious. Thank you.
Reggae never goes down well with the tough RP crowd, but it's always a treat for me. Pass the spliff and the Red Stripe, mon :*)
I'm from Russia. City Of Magnitogorsk. Radio Paradise is the best in the world. Thank you.
Dobroe Utrtol!! Enjoy RP!!!
To annoy people that are wearing headphones! ....and cause vertigo!

That's a great image and I think it would sound a little like this (sung to a good reggae beat):
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, the invisible hand of capitalism
guides us without intervention
We just let the market do it's thing
Unless we have money in the ring
then we send in military
or buy the supreme court
can't allow losses
for the top 1 percent
Let them eat cake says I
or tune into FM talk radio
telling people how to think
repetition does it's trick
and the invisible hand of capitalism
guides us without intervention
Oh, oh, oh...
Stupitdty! They think they are being creative! Instead, it is ANNOYING, & they are causing vertigo! It is is a GREAT TUNE, too bad they mucked it up, by doing this in production!!
it gives me headaches
something in this mix is terribly out of Phase 180 degrees why ?

Spot on! Not sure if it's an artistic decision, but to me it's just out of tune.
