Gladiators - Streets Of Freedom (aka Babylon Street)

This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.

Too long, too long, too long
Too long, too long
Too long, too long, too long
Too long, too long

Hey! I say loneliness for my company
Tears for my coffee, sorrows for my bread
Psalm 127:2; Proverbs 4:17

Tickles and thorns for my bed too, but
Isaiah 7:24; Ezekiel 2:6


I know we gonna walk, hey
The streets of freedom, yes
I know we gonna walk, the streets of freedom
But when will it be? When will it be?
When will it be? When will it be?

Too long, too long, too long
Too long, too long
Too long, too long, too long
Too long, too long

(..)

I know we gonna walk, hey
The streets of freedom, yes
I know we gonna walk, the streets of freedom
But when will it be? When will it be?
When will it be? When will it be?

Way over yonder, the flowers of happiness
Blooming so slow, blooming slow but sure, yes

I know we gonna walk, hey
The streets of freedom, yes
I know we gonna walk, the streets of freedom
But when will it be? When will it be?
When will it be? When will it be?

You hypocrites, backsliders, oh!

A wa dem a go do, hey, when the tables turn?
A wa dem a go do, when we hold the handle?
And then them hold the blade
When will it be? when will it be?
When will it be? when will it be?
