The Future

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 careless 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 Won’t be 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 They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

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

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

Slide in all directions

Won’t be nothing Won’t be nothing

You can’t 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 They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

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 (ooh, ooh)

And all the lousy little poets

Coming round

Her features covered by Her fallen gown

And all the Lousy little poets Coming round

Trying to sound like Charlie Manson

Yeah The white girl’s dancing

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

Slide in all directions

Won’t be nothing Won’t be nothing

You can’t 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 They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said They said

Repent Repent

Repent Repent

Beautiful.
