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 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 |
Things are going to slide |
Slide in all directions |
Won’t be nothing |
Won’t 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 (they said) repent (repent), repent |
I wonder what they meant |
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent |
I wonder what they meant |
When they said (they said) repent (repent), 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, and 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 |
And things are going to slide |
Slide in all directions |
Won’t be nothing |
Won’t 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 (they said) repent (repent), repent |
I wonder what they meant |
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent |
I wonder what they meant |
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent |
I wonder what they meant |
There’ll be the breaking of the ancient Western code |
And 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 a woman hanging upside down |
Her features covered by her fallen gown |
And all the lousy little poets comin' round |
Tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson, oh |
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 |
And things are going to slide |
Slide in all directions |
Won’t be nothing |
Won’t 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 (they said) repent (repent), repent |
I wonder what they meant |
When they said (they said), oh repent (repent), oh repent |
I wonder what they meant |
Yeah, when they said (they said) repent (repent), repent |
I wonder what they meant |
I wonder what they meant |
