Refrain:Things are gonna slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard of the World has crossed the threshold
And it's overturned the order of the soul
When they said repent I wonder what they meant (3X)
1st Verse:Gimme back my broken night, my mirrored room, my secret life
It's lonely here there's no one here to torture
Give me absolute control over every living soul
And lie beside me baby that's an order
Gimme 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
2nd Verse: You don't know me from the wind
You never will you never did
All the little children who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall 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, 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
3rd Verse: 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 men dancin'
You'll see your woman hanging upside down
Her features covered by her falling gown
And all the lousy little poets come around trying to sound like Charlie
Manson
And the white men 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 seen the future baby, it is murder
Leonard Cohen
Won't be nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard of the World has crossed the threshold
And it's overturned the order of the soul
When they said repent I wonder what they meant (3X)
