[00:10.090] Give me back my broken night
[00:13.070] my mirrored room my secret life
[00:16.380] it's lonely here
[00:18.130] there's no one left to torture
[00:23.580] Give me absolute control
[00:27.020] over every living soul
[00:29.939] And lie beside me baby
[00:32.649] that's an order
[00:37.139] Give me crack and anal sex
[00:40.790] Take the only tree that's left
[00:43.999] and stuff it up the hole
[00:46.319] in your culture
[00:50.639] Give me back the Berlin wall
[00:53.999] give me Stalin and St Paul
[00:57.059] I've seen the future brother
[00:59.909] it is murder
[01:04.209] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[01:10.119] Won't be nothing
[01:12.649] Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:17.339] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[01:22.300] has crossed the threshold
[01:23.589] and it has overturned
[01:25.899] the order of the soul
[01:30.689] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:37.599] I wonder what they meant
[01:40.609] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:46.927] I wonder what they meant
[01:50.689] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:57.109] I wonder what they meant
[02:05.080] You don't know me from the wind
[02:09.100] you never will you never did
[02:11.910] I'm the little jew
[02:14.500] who wrote the Bible
[02:18.279] I've seen the nations rise and fall
[02:22.600] I've heard their stories heard them all
[02:25.060] but love's the only engine of survival
[02:31.830] Your servant here he has been told
[02:35.600] to say it clear to say it cold
[02:38.590] It's over it ain't going
[02:41.540] any further
[02:45.270] And now the wheels of heaven stop
[02:49.300] you feel the devil's riding crop
[02:52.040] Get ready for the future
[02:54.910] it is murder
[02:59.230] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[03:05.260] Won't be nothing
[03:07.680] Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:12.500] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[03:16.580] has crossed the threshold
[03:18.800] and it has overturned
[03:20.800] the order of the soul
[03:25.900] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:31.870] I wonder what they meant
[03:35.680] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:42.010] I wonder what they meant
[03:45.820] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:52.180] I wonder what they meant
[03:59.000] There'll be the breaking of the ancient
[04:03.000] western code
[04:06.700] Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:12.880] There'll be phantoms
[04:14.900] There'll be fires on the road
[04:18.000] and the white man dancing
[04:25.890] You'll see a woman
[04:28.150] hanging upside down
[04:34.200] her features covered by her fallen gown
[04:39.830] and all the lousy little poets
[04:44.100] coming round
[04:45.080] tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
[04:52.990] and the white man dancin'
[05:01.140] Give me back the Berlin wall
[05:05.300] Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:07.840] Give me Christ
[05:09.210] or give me Hiroshima
[05:14.240] Destroy another fetus now
[05:17.990] We don't like children anyhow
[05:20.990] I've seen the future baby
[05:24.320] it is murder
[05:28.210] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[05:34.160] Won't be nothing
[05:36.609] Nothing you can measure anymore
[05:41.350] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[05:45.500] has crossed the threshold
[05:47.800] and it has overturned
[05:50.400] the order of the soul
[05:54.510] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:00.810] I wonder what they meant
[06:04.590] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:10.970] I wonder what they meant
[06:14.690] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:21.110] I wonder what they meant
[06:24.910] When they said REPENT REPENT
