Give me back my broken night   my mirrored room, my secret life   it's lonely here,   there's no one left to torture   Give me absolute control   over every living soul   And lie beside me, baby,   that's an order!   Give me crack and anal sex   Take the only tree that's left   and stuff it up the hole   in your culture   Give me back the Berlin wall   give me Stalin and St Paul   I've seen the future, brother:   it is murder.     Things are going to slide, slide in all directions   Won't be nothing   Nothing you can measure anymore   The blizzard, the blizzard of the world   has crossed the threshold   and it has overturned   the order of the soul   When they said REPENT REPENT   I wonder what they meant   When they said REPENT REPENT   I wonder what they meant   When they said REPENT REPENT   I wonder what they meant     You don't know me from the wind   you never will, you never did   I'm the little jew   who wrote the Bible   I've seen the nations rise and fall   I've heard their stories, heard them all   but love's the only engine of survival   Your servant here, he has been told   to say it clear, to say it cold:   It's over, it ain't going   any further   And now the wheels of heaven stop   you feel the devil's riding crop   Get ready for the future:   it is murder     Things are going to slide ...     There'll be the breaking of the ancient   western code   Your private life will suddenly explode   There'll be phantoms   There'll be fires on the road   and the white man dancing   You'll see a woman   hanging upside down   her features covered by her fallen gown   and all the lousy little poets   coming round   tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson   and the white man dancin'     Give me back the Berlin wall   Give me Stalin and St Paul   Give me Christ   or give me Hiroshima   Destroy another fetus now   We don't like children anyhow   I've seen the future, baby:   it is murder     Things are going to slide ...     When they said REPENT REPENT ...
