Lyrics The Future

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 livin' soul and lie beside me baby

That's an order

Give me crack and anal sex

Take the only tree that's left

Stuff it up the hole in your culture

Give me back the Berlin wall

Give me Stalin and Saint Paul

I've seen the future brother

It is murder

Things are gonna slide in all directions

Won't be nothin'

Nothin' you can 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

Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said

Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said

Repent

I wonder what 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 the 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 goin' any further

And now the wheels of heaven stop

You feel the devil's ridin' crop

Get ready for the future

It is murder

Things are gonna slide in all directions

Won't be nothin'

Nothin' you can 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

Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said

Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said

Repent

I wonder what they meant

There'll be the breakin' 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 dancin'

You'll see your woman hangin' upside down

Her features covered by her fallen gown

And all the lousy little poets comin' 'round

Tryin' to sound like

Charlie Manson

And the white man dancin'

Give me back the Berlin wall

Give me Stalin and Saint 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

Things are gonna slide in all directions

Won't be nothin'

Nothin' you can 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

Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said

Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said

Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said

Repent
