Mr. Kokoschka, it just happened again -
They struck the museum like a hurricane.
All of our culture, it's dead and it's gone,
From Babylon baby back to Babylon.

There's stuff you find along the way and stuff you leave behind,
And it all in ends up as stuff that you can buy.

On ebay - from Babylon back to Babylon.
On ebay - from Babylon back to Babylon.

In old Bagdhad they're dursting off the antiques;
It's the fourteenth guernica we've had this week.
I got twenty-five dollars for a Persian vase.
Hold the critique. I think I'll go large.

That stuff inside your houses and that stuff behind your eyes,
Well it all ends up as stuff that you can buy.

On ebay - from Babylon back to Babylon.
On ebay - from Babylon back to Babylon.

They're building a tower of wrappers and cans,
And now we speak in language that we all understand
T-t-t-t-t-tongue tied and starry eyed -
It's the ancient history of old school ties.

There's stuff dressed up as truth and then there's stuff dressed up as lies
And it all ends up as stuff that you can buy.

On ebay - from Babylon back to Babylon.
On ebay - from Babylon back to Babylon.
On ebay - from Babylon back to Babylon.
On ebay - from Babylon back to Babylon.
