Give me back my broken night, my m irrored room, my secret life
it's l onely here, there's no on e left to tor ture
Give me absolute control o ver every living soul
And l ie beside me baby, that's an or der !
Give me crack an anal sex, t ake the only tree that's left
and s tuff it up the ho le in your cultur e
Give me back the Berlin Wall, g ive me Stalin and St. Paul
I've s een the future, br other : it is mu rder.
Th ings are gonna slide (sli de) in all directions
Won't be nothi ng (won't be) nothing you can't measur e anymore.
The bliz zard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold
and it has over turned the order of the soul
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder wh at they meant
When they sa id (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder wh at they meant
When they sa id (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder wh at they meant
You don't know me from the wind, you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew who wrote the bible
I've seen nations rise and fall, I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engibe of survival
Your servant here he has been told to say it clear to say it cold :
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop, you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future : it is murder.
There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code
Your p rivate life will suddenly explode
There'll be p hantoms, there'll be fires on the road
and the white man d ancing
You'll see your w oman hanging upside down
her fe atures covered by her fallen gown
and all the l ousy little poets coming around
trying to sound like Charlie M anson
and the white man d ancing
Give me back the Berlin Wall, g ive me Stalin and St. Paul
Give me Christ or g ive me Hirosh ima
Destroy another fetus now, we d on't like children anyhow
I've s een the future, ba by : it is mu rder.
Refrain
When they s aid (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
