Mr Kokoschka, it just happened again
Sad, so sad
They struck the museum like a hurricane
Sad, so sad
All of our culture, it's dead and its gone
Sad, so sad
From Babylon, baby, back to Babylon
Sad, so sad
There's stuff you find along the way and stuff you leave behind
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
In old Bahgdad they're dusting off the antiques
Sad, so sad
It's the fourteenth Guernica we've had this week
Sad, so sad
I got twenty-five dollars for a Persian vase
Sad, so sad
Hold the critque! I think I'll go large!
Sad, so sad
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 out of wrappers and cans
Sad, so sad
Now we speak in a language that we all understand
Sad, so sad
T-t-t-t-toungue-tied and starry-eyed
Sad, so sad
It's the ancient history of old school ties
Sad, so sad
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
