Intro
Am Dm E7 Am x2
Verse 1
Give me back my broken night, my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control over every living soul
And lie beside me baby, that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex, take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole in your culture.
Give me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've seen the future, brother: it is murder.
Chorus
Things are gonna slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing, (won't be) nothing you can't measure anymore.
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold
And it's overturned the order of the soul
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
Verse 2
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 engine 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.
Chorus
Things are gonna slide (slide) in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be) nothing you can't measure anymore.
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned the order of the soul
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
Bridge
There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see your woman hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets coming around
trying to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancing
Verse 3
Give me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul
Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now, we don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby: it is murder.
Chorus
Things are gonna slide (slide) in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be) nothing you can't measure anymore.
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned the order of the soul
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)
