Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
its lonely here,
theres no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
thats an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree thats left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
Ive seen the future, brother:
it is murder.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Wont be nothing
Nothing you can 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 REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
You dont know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
Im the little jew
who wrote the Bible
Ive seen the nations rise and fall
Ive heard their stories, heard them all
but loves the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
Its over, it aint going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devils riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Wont be nothing
Nothing you can 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 REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
Therell be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
Therell be phantoms
Therell be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
Youll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We dont like children anyhow
Ive seen the future, baby:
it is murder
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Wont be nothing
Nothing you can 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 REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
