1
Give me back my broken night
2
My mirrored room, my secret life
3
It's lonely here,
4
There's no one left to torture
5
Give me absolute control
6
Over every living soul
7
And lie beside me, baby,
8
That's an order!
9
Give me crack and anal s**
10
Take the only tree that's left
11
And stuff it up the hole
12
In your culture
13
Give me back the Berlin wall
14
Give me Stalin and St Paul
15
I've seen the future, brother:
16
It is murder.
17
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
18
Won't be nothing
19
Nothing you can measure anymore
20
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
21
Has crossed the threshold
22
And it has overturned
23
The order of the soul
24
When they said repent repent
25
I wonder what they meant
26
When they said repent repent
27
I wonder what they meant
28
When they said repent repent
29
I wonder what they meant
30
You don't know me from the wind
31
You never will, you never did
32
I'm the little jew
33
Who wrote the Bible
34
I've seen the nations rise and fall
35
I've heard their stories, heard them all
36
But love's the only engine of survival
37
Your servant here, he has been told
38
To say it clear, to say it cold:
39
It's over, it ain't going
40
Any further
41
And now the wheels of heaven stop
42
You feel the devil's riding crop
43
Get ready for the future:
44
It is murder
45
Things are going to slide...
46
There'll be the breaking of the ancient
47
Western code
48
Your private life will suddenly explode
49
There'll be phantoms
50
There'll be fires on the road
51
And the white man dancing
52
You'll see a woman
53
Hanging upside down
54
Her features covered by her fallen gown
55
And all the lousy little poets
56
Coming round
57
Tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
58
And the white man dancin'
59
Give me back the Berlin wall
60
Give me Stalin and St Paul
61
Give me Christ
62
Or give me Hiroshima
63
Destroy another fetus now
64
We don't like children anyhow
65
I've seen the future, baby:
66
It is murder
67
Things are going to slide...
68
When they said repent repent...
