It's a critical solution   And the east coast got the blues   It's a mass of confusion   Like the lies they sell to you   You got a glass jawed toothache   Of a mental disease   An they be runnin' round back   See 'em line up on their knees   'Cause the kiss ass sycophants   Throwin' penance at your feet   When they got nowhere to go   Watch 'em come in off the streets   While they're bangin' out front   Inside they're slammin' to the crunch   Go on an throw me to the lions   And the whole damn screamin' bunch   'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs   'R' everywhere you turn   Tell me how a generation's   ever s'posed to learn   This fire is burnin' and it's out of control   It's not a problem you can stop   It's rock n' roll   I read it on a wall   It went straight to my head   It said "Dance to the tension   Of a world on edge"   We got racial violence   and who'll cast the first stone   And sex is used anyway it can be   Sometimes when I look out   It's so hard to see the day   It's a feelin' you can have it   It's not mine to take away   Lost in the Garden of Eden   Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden   And there's no one's gonna believe this   But we're lost in the Garden of Eden   This fire is burnin' and it's out of control   It's not a problem you can stop   It's rock n' roll   Suck on that   Looking through this point of view   There's no way I'm gonna fit in   Don't ya tell me what my eyes see   Don't ya tell me who to believe in   I ain't superstitious   But I know when something's wrong   I've been draggin' my heels   with a bitch called hope   Let the undercurrent drag me along   Lost in the Garden of Eden   Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden   And there's no one's gonna believe this   But we're lost in the Garden of Eden   Most organized religions make   a mockery of humanity   Our goverments are dangerous   and out of control   The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard   Said if they had someone to buy it   Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul   This fire is burnin' and it's out of control   It's not a problem you can stop   It's rock n' roll   Lost in the Garden of Eden   (An we ain't talkin' about no   poison apple or some missin' rib ya hear)   Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden   Said there's no one's gonna believe this   Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden   This fire is burnin' and it's out of control   It's not a problem you can stop   It's rock n' roll
