Lyric discussion by jimquk 

I live with "illegals" in the UK. "Babylon" of course is the the Babylon of corruption in the Book of Revelation, and the Babylon system of the Rastas, but also the Rivers of Babylon, where we sat down and wept, where the Jews were in exile. (The site of Babylon is near Baghdad).

I always thought the line after africano clandestino was marroquino ilegal - makes a load more sense than marijuana.

The message is that all those despised asylum-seekers, economic migrants, Gypsies, whatever, are human beings like you.

God bless the illegals. Your day of freedom is coming.
