[00:42.490] Give me back my broken night
[00:45.470] my mirrored room my secret life
[00:48.780] it's lonely here
[00:50.530] there's no one left to torture
[00:55.980] Give me absolute control
[00:59.420] over every living soul
[01:02.340] And lie beside me baby
[01:05.050] that's an order!
[01:09.540] Give me crack and anal sex
[01:12.840] Take the only tree that's left
[01:16.130] and stuff it up the hole
[01:18.720] in your culture
[01:23.040] Give me back the Berlin wall
[01:26.400] give me Stalin and St Paul
[01:29.460] I've seen the future brother
[01:32.310] it is murder
[01:36.610] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[01:42.520] Won't be nothing
[01:45.050] Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:49.740] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[01:53.810] has crossed the threshold
[01:55.990] and it has overturned
[01:58.120] the order of the soul
[02:02.830] When they said REPENT REPENT
[02:09.110] I wonder what they meant
[02:13.010] When they said REPENT REPENT
[02:19.330] I wonder what they meant
[02:23.090] When they said REPENT REPENT
[02:29.510] I wonder what they meant
[02:37.480] You don't know me from the wind
[02:40.870] you never will you never did
[02:44.310] I'm the little jew
[02:46.900] who wrote the Bible
[02:50.680] I've seen the nations rise and fall
[02:54.190] I've heard their stories heard them all
[02:57.460] but love's the only engine of survival
[03:04.230] Your servant here he has been told
[03:07.820] to say it clear to say it cold
[03:10.990] It's over it ain't going
[03:13.940] any further
[03:17.670] And now the wheels of heaven stop
[03:21.160] you feel the devil's riding crop
[03:24.440] Get ready for the future
[03:27.310] it is murder
[03:31.630] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[03:37.660] Won't be nothing
[03:40.080] Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:44.810] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[03:48.980] has crossed the threshold
[03:51.110] and it has overturned
[03:53.110] the order of the soul
[03:57.850] When they said REPENT REPENT
[04:04.270] I wonder what they meant
[04:08.080] When they said REPENT REPENT
[04:14.410] I wonder what they meant
[04:18.220] When they said REPENT REPENT
[04:24.580] I wonder what they meant
[04:31.130] There'll be the breaking of the ancient
[04:35.130] western code
[04:39.100] Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:45.280] There'll be phantoms
[04:47.300] There'll be fires on the road
[04:50.400] and the white man dancing
[04:58.290] You'll see a woman
[05:00.550] hanging upside down
[05:05.880] her features covered by her fallen gown
[05:12.230] and all the lousy little poets
[05:15.870] coming round
[05:17.480] tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
[05:25.390] and the white man dancin'
[05:33.540] Give me back the Berlin wall
[05:36.890] Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:40.240] Give me Christ
[05:41.610] or give me Hiroshima
[05:46.640] Destroy another fetus now
[05:50.390] We don't like children anyhow
[05:53.390] I've seen the future baby
[05:56.720] it is murder
[06:00.610] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[06:06.560] Won't be nothing
[06:09.010] Nothing you can measure anymore
[06:13.750] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[06:17.900] has crossed the threshold
[06:20.110] and it has overturned
[06:22.170] the order of the soul
[06:26.910] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:33.210] I wonder what they meant
[06:36.990] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:43.370] I wonder what they meant
[06:47.090] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:53.510] I wonder what they meant
[06:57.310] When they said REPENT REPENT
