These 
later 
days 
in 
Babylon

As
 I
 watch
 your 
children 
grow

And
 the 
years 
them 
carry
 on

And 
I 
miss 
you
 even
 more

Still
I 
send 
them 
go 
to
 school

And
 tell 
them


What 
dem

All 
of 
mi
 friend
 dem

Respect 
long

When

somethin’
new

Our 
friendship 
ever 
last

All 
when

We’re

Of 
the

Your

Your 
real 
friends 
will 
serve 
you

Sunshine 
or 
rain


Your 
real 
friends

Your

wont

But

just 
really 
awfully

Salty

Ya’ll

for 
none

I

millionaires 
get 
to 
that 
very 
position

Some 
real 
millionaires

Cause
