[00:06.820] Give me back my broken night
[00:09.510] My mirrored room
[00:11.190] My secret life
[00:12.770] It's lonely here
[00:14.700] There's no one left to torture
[00:17.280]
[00:19.830] Give me absolute control
[00:23.160] Over every living soul
[00:26.470] And lie beside me baby
[00:29.280] That's an order
[00:31.220]
[00:33.420] Give me crack and anal sex
[00:36.350] Take the only tree that's left
[00:39.980] Stuff it up the hole
[00:42.560] In your culture
[00:44.060]
[00:46.860] Give me back the Berlin wall
[00:49.810] Give me Stalin and St Paul
[00:53.270] I've seen the future brother
[00:56.340] It is murder
[00:58.210]
[01:00.330] Things are going to slide
[01:03.780] Slide in all directions
[01:06.280] Won't be nothing
[01:07.850] Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:12.980] The blizzard
[01:14.550] The blizzard of the world
[01:16.670] Has crossed the threshold
[01:18.370] And it has overturned
[01:22.320] The order of the soul
[01:24.810]
[01:26.680] When they said
[01:28.070] Repent repent
[01:31.940]
[01:33.010] I wonder what they meant
[01:35.570]
[01:36.760] When they said
[01:38.710] Repent repent
[01:43.160] I wonder what they meant
[01:45.210]
[01:46.710] When they said
[01:48.720] Repent repent
[01:52.860] I wonder what they meant
[01:55.490]
[02:01.090] You don't know me from the wind
[02:03.910] You never will
[02:05.470] You never did
[02:07.350] I was the little jew
[02:10.160] Who wrote the Bible
[02:12.290]
[02:14.050] I've seen the nations rise and fall
[02:17.170] I've heard their stories
[02:18.930] Heard them all
[02:20.620] But love's the only engine of survival
[02:25.880]
[02:27.250] Your servant here
[02:29.070] He has been told
[02:30.630] To say it clear
[02:32.190] To say it cold
[02:34.090] It's over
[02:35.390] It ain't going
[02:36.890] Any further
[02:38.080]
[02:40.650] And now the wheels of heaven stop
[02:43.910] You feel the devil's riding crop
[02:47.350] Get ready for the future
[02:49.980] It is murder
[02:51.980]
[02:53.800] Things are going to slide
[02:57.610] Slide in all directions
[03:00.370] Won't be nothing
[03:01.740] Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:06.630] The blizzard
[03:08.330] The blizzard of the world
[03:10.450] Has crossed the threshold
[03:12.130] And it has overturned
[03:14.210] The order of the soul
[03:17.390]
[03:20.280] When they said
[03:21.710] Repent repent
[03:26.660] I wonder what they meant
[03:28.920]
[03:30.480] When they said
[03:32.350] Repent repent
[03:36.550] I wonder what they meant
[03:38.870]
[03:40.300] When they said
[03:42.420] Repent repent
[03:46.310] I wonder what they meant
[03:48.700]
[03:53.150] There'll be the breaking of the ancient
[03:56.890] Western code
[03:58.400]
[04:00.090] Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:04.660]
[04:06.280] There'll be phantoms
[04:08.790] There'll be fires on the road
[04:11.650]
[04:13.230] And a white man dancing
[04:17.310]
[04:19.670] You'll see a woman
[04:21.920] Hanging upside down
[04:25.150]
[04:27.070] Her features covered by her fallen gown
[04:31.720]
[04:33.090] And all the lousy little poets
[04:36.720] Coming round
[04:37.780] Trying to sound like Charlie Manson
[04:41.540]
[04:43.350] And the white man dancin
[04:48.000]
[04:53.730] Give me back the Berlin wall
[04:57.540] Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:00.370] Give me Christ
[05:02.060] Or give me Hiroshima
[05:04.880]
[05:06.880] Destroy another fetus now
[05:10.130] We don't like children anyhow
[05:13.570] I've seen the future baby
[05:16.200] It is murder
[05:18.070]
[05:19.900] Things are going to slide
[05:23.450] Slide in all directions
[05:26.220] Won't be nothing
[05:27.600] Nothing you can measure anymore
[05:32.470] The blizzard
[05:34.030] The blizzard of the world
[05:36.040] Has crossed the threshold
[05:37.730] And it has overturned
[05:39.670] The order of the soul
[05:42.170]
[05:45.750] When they said
[05:47.190] Repent repent
[05:51.820] I wonder what they meant
[05:54.710]
[05:55.570] When they said
[05:57.320] Repent repent
[06:01.760] I wonder what they meant
[06:03.950]
[06:05.040] When they said
[06:07.410] Repent repent
[06:11.820] I wonder what they meant I wonder what they meant
[06:20.580]
