Lyrics:

I've had enough of this fooling around
Being knocked down
And playing the clown
This city life was never meant for me
I got to get back to the country
So I'm gonna spread my wings
Fly away, I can't stay another day
I'm leaving out of Babylon
I'm movin' on

Come rally all my people it's time we move
If you're stuck you got to groove
Shake the dust off of your bones
You don't want to be left alone
Cause we've been tricked and fooled for so long
Held captive down in Babylon
So listen to your heart it'll show you the way
Don't get caught up in hearsay

.

Cause every time I go to town I see the police man with his ticket book in his hand
He says license, registration, and insurance please
He already knows I ain't got none of these
Cause I'm a natural dread just trying to survive
Jah knows I ain't gonna work no 9 to 5
But I got to provide for my youths and my wife
And make sure that they have a good life
But Babylon just won't let us be
Who we really want to be
And we been troddin' for so long
How many more miles 'til we're free? I'm crying from the mountaintop
Babylon set my people free
Why can't the heathen see

I've had enough of this fooling around
Being knocked down
And playing the clown
This city life was never meant for me
I got to get back to the country
I've had enough of this mentality
That's poisoning all humanity
It's rising all around me so I man I must flee
I got to get back to the country
