[00:10.52] Give me back my broken night
[00:12.70] my mirrored room my secret life
[00:16.01] it's lonely here
[00:17.63] there's no one left to torture
[00:20.19] Give me absolute control
[00:25.18] over every living soul
[00:29.50] And lie beside me baby
[00:32.20] that's an order!
[00:33.70] Give me crack and anal sex
[00:39.75] Take the only tree that's left
[00:43.18] and stuff it up the hole
[00:45.88] in your culture
[00:47.25] Give me back the Berlin wall
[00:53.26] give me Stalin and St Paul
[00:56.38] I've seen the future brother
[00:59.19] it is murder
[01:00.94] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[01:08.92] Won't be nothing
[01:11.35] Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:14.97] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[01:21.22] has crossed the threshold
[01:22.90] and it has overturned
[01:25.21] the order of the soul
[01:27.08] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:34.41] I wonder what they meant
[01:39.09] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:43.52] I wonder what they meant
[01:49.32] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:54.88] I wonder what they meant
[01:58.99] You don't know me from the wind
[02:08.41] you never will you never did
[02:10.78] I'm the little jew
[02:13.53] who wrote the Bible
[02:15.78] I've seen the nations rise and fall
[02:20.64] I've heard their stories heard them all
[02:24.45] but love's the only engine of survival
[02:28.14] Your servant here he has been told
[02:34.84] to say it clear to say it cold
[02:38.15] It's over it ain't going
[02:41.02] any further
[02:42.14] And now the wheels of heaven stop
[02:49.38] you feel the devil's riding crop
[02:51.94] Get ready for the future
[02:54.25] it is murder
[02:55.93] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[03:04.36] Won't be nothing
[03:06.67] Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:10.16] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[03:16.34] has crossed the threshold
[03:18.58] and it has overturned
[03:21.46] the order of the soul
[03:23.39] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:29.44] I wonder what they meant
[03:34.12] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:39.61] I wonder what they meant
[03:44.29] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:49.74] I wonder what they meant
[03:54.23] There'll be the breaking of the ancient
[04:01.97] western code
[04:03.59] Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:13.41] There'll be phantoms
[04:14.40] There'll be fires on the road
[04:17.47] and the white man dancing
[04:20.17] You'll see a woman
[04:27.48] hanging upside down
[04:30.80] her features covered by her fallen gown
[04:37.66] and all the lousy little poets
[04:42.72] coming round
[04:44.09] tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
[04:51.83] and the white man dancin'
[04:54.89] Give me back the Berlin wall
[05:03.81] Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:07.06] Give me Christ
[05:09.05] or give me Hiroshima
[05:10.60] Destroy another fetus now
[05:11.66] We don't like children anyhow
[05:16.34] I've seen the future baby
[05:20.70] it is murder
[05:25.88] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[05:33.31] Won't be nothing
[05:35.37] Nothing you can measure anymore
[05:39.01] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[05:45.19] has crossed the threshold
[05:47.24] and it has overturned
[05:49.12] the order of the soul
[05:51.42] When they said REPENT REPENT
[05:58.40] I wonder what they meant
[06:03.09] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:08.52] I wonder what they meant
[06:13.14] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:18.69] I wonder what they meant
[06:23.07] When they said REPENT REPENT
