Lyrics

[00:09.50] Give me back my broken night
[00:12.50] my mirrored room, my secret life
[00:15.50] it's lonely here,
[00:17.50] there's no one left to torture
[00:22.50] Give me absolute control
[00:26.50] over every living soul
[00:29.50] And lie beside me, baby,
[00:32.50] that's an order!
[00:34.50]
[00:36.50] Give me crack and anal sex
[00:39.50] Take the only tree that's left
[00:42.50] and stuff it up the hole
[00:45.50] in your culture
[00:49.50] Give me back the Berlin wall
[00:54.50] give me Stalin and St Paul
[00:56.50] I've seen the future, brother:
[00:59.50] it is murder.
[01:01.50]
[01:03.50] Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
[01:09.50] Won't be nothing
[01:11.50] Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:16.50] The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
[01:21.50] has crossed the threshold
[01:24.50] and it has overturned
[01:26.50] the order of the soul
[01:30.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:36.50] I wonder what they meant
[01:39.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:46.50] I wonder what they meant
[01:49.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:56.50] I wonder what they meant
[01:59.50]
[02:04.50] You don't know me from the wind
[02:07.50] you never will, you never did
[02:10.50] I'm the little jew
[02:13.50] who wrote the Bible
[02:17.50] I've seen the nations rise and fall
[02:20.50] I've heard their stories, heard them all
[02:23.50] but love's the only engine of survival
[02:31.50] Your servant here, he has been told
[02:35.50] to say it clear, to say it cold:
[02:38.50] It's over, it ain't going
[02:40.50] any further
[02:44.50] And now the wheels of heaven stop
[02:47.50] you feel the devil's riding crop
[02:51.50] Get ready for the future:
[02:54.50] it is murder
[02:56.50]
[02:58.50] Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
[03:04.50] Won't be nothing
[03:07.50] Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:11.50] The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
[03:16.50] has crossed the threshold
[03:18.50] and it has overturned
[03:20.50] the order of the soul
[03:23.50]
[03:25.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:31.50] I wonder what they meant
[03:35.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:41.50] I wonder what they meant
[03:46.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:52.50] I wonder what they meant
[03:55.50]
[03:58.50] There'll be the breaking of the ancient
[04:01.50] western code
[04:06.50] Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:12.50] There'll be phantoms
[04:14.50] There'll be fires on the road
[04:17.50] and the white man dancing
[04:24.50] You'll see a woman
[04:27.50] hanging upside down
[04:33.50] her features covered by her fallen gown
[04:38.50] and all the lousy little poets
[04:42.50] coming round
[04:44.50] tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
[04:52.50] and the white man dancin'
[04:54.50]
[05:01.50] Give me back the Berlin wall
[05:04.50] Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:07.50] Give me Christ
[05:08.50] or give me Hiroshima
[05:14.50] Destroy another fetus now
[05:17.50] We don't like children anyhow
[05:21.50]
[05:24.50] it is murder
[05:26.50]
[05:28.50] Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
[05:33.50] Won't be nothing
[05:36.50] Nothing you can measure anymore
[05:40.50] The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
[05:45.50] has crossed the threshold
[05:48.50] and it has overturned
[05:50.50] the order of the soul
[05:54.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:01.50] I wonder what they meant
[06:05.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:11.50] I wonder what they meant
[06:14.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:20.50] I wonder what they meant
[06:23.50]
[06:25.50] When they said REPENT REPENT
