    A friend of mine introduce me to Thievery back in 99-00. We saw them at the Hollywood Athletic Club. At the time I didn't have a clue what they were all about. Glad I went, it opened up a whole new world. I'll be 40 in April and I'm still listening.

      Alex Tom Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Saankramer Earn Infinity System (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing exclusive product for unlocking the combination to success without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got astronomical success with it.

It is a smashing one of a kind guide for unlocking the combination to success without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend at very last got amazing results with it.

It is a good one off product for unlocking the combination to success without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend at very last got astronomical results with it.

    There is no quidance in your kingdom
    Your wicked walk in Babylon
    There is no wisdom to your freedom
    The richest man in babylon
    Your beggars sleep outside your doorway
    Your prophets leave to wonder on
    You fall asleep at night with worry
    The saddest man in Babylon
    The wicked stench of exploitation
    Hangs in the air and lingers on
    Beneath the praise and admiration
    The weakest man in Babylon
    There is no hope left in your kingdom
    Your servants have burned all their songs
    Nobody here remembers freedom
    The richest man in Babylon
    Si la lou babylon go 'dain
    Babylon gon' be rich again
    But to we don' sick again
    But no we no weak again
    Babyloooon on on on on
    (Rasta scat)
    Sal la lou ca uba whoa
    Si la douba douba do wa bay
    ??
    Si la loo babylon come 'round
    You better know you better understand
    'Fact you know you better hear what they say
    Babylon this is your final day
    Babylon this is your final call
    Read the writin' it's on the wall
    Said United we stand
    And together we fall
    And if I know that
    You're not 'gon catch me in a rat pack
    We not go fallin' on your death trap
    No way...
