The Future - Lyrics by Cohen Leonard


Lyrics
Give me back my broken nightmy mirrored room, my secret lifeit's lonely here,there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute controlover every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's leftand stuff it up the holein your culture
Give me back the Berlin wallgive 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 worldhas crossed the thresholdand it has overturnedthe order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meant
You don't know me from the windyou never will, you never did
I'm the little jewwho wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them allbut love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been toldto say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't goingany further
And now the wheels of heaven stopyou feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
There'll be the breaking of the ancientwestern code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the roadand the white man dancing
You'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 wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christor give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
When they said REPENT REPENT ...
