The Future

The Future

Give me back my broken nightmy mirrored room, my secret lifeit's lonely here,there's no one left to tortureGive me absolute controlover every living soulAnd lie beside me, baby,that's an order!

Give me crack and anal sexTake the only tree that's leftand stuff it up the holein your cultureGive me back the Berlin wallgive me Stalin and St PaulI've seen the future, brother:it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directionsWon't be nothingNothing you can measure anymoreThe blizzard, the blizzard of the worldhas crossed the thresholdand it has overturnedthe order of the soulWhen they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meantWhen they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meantWhen they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meant.

You don't know me from the windyou never will, you never didI'm the little jewwho wrote the BibleI've seen the nations rise and fallI've heard their stories, heard them allbut love's the only engine of survivalYour servant here, he has been toldto say it clear, to say it cold:It's over, it ain't goingany furtherAnd now the wheels of heaven stopyou feel the devil's riding cropGet ready for the future:it is murder.

Things are going to slide ...

There'll be the breaking of the ancientwestern codeYour private life will suddenly explodeThere'll be phantomsThere'll be fires on the roadand the white man dancingYou'll see a womanhanging upside downher features covered by her fallen gownand all the lousy little poetscoming roundtryin' to sound like Charlie Mansonand the white man dancin'.

Give me back the Berlin wallGive me Stalin and St PaulGive me Christor give me HiroshimaDestroy another fetus nowWe don't like children anyhowI've seen the future, baby:it is murder.

Things are going to slide ...When they said REPENT REPENT ...
