Straighten Him Out |
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 |
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 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 |
You're 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. |
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions |
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 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. |
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 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 don't like children anyhow |
I've seen the future, baby: |
it is murder. |
