Songtext
0:10Give me back my broken night
0:13My mirrored room my secret life
0:16It's lonely here
0:18There's no one left to torture
0:24Give me absolute control
0:27Over every living soul
0:30And lie beside me baby
0:33That's an order
0:37Give me crack and anal sex
0:40Take the only tree that's left
0:44Stuff it up the hole
0:46In your culture
0:51Give me back the Berlin wall
0:54Give me Stalin and St. Paul
0:57I've seen the future brother
1:00It is murder
1:04Things are going to slide slide in all directions
1:10Won't be nothing
1:12Won't be nothing
1:13You can measure anymore
1:17The blizzard the blizzard of the world
1:22Has crossed the threshold
1:24And it has overturned
1:26The order of the soul
1:30When they said they said repent repent repent repent
1:37I wonder what they meant
1:41When they said they said repent repent repent repent
1:47I wonder what they meant
1:51When they said they said repent repent repent repent
1:57I wonder what they meant
2:05You don't know me from the wind
2:08You never will you never did
2:12I'm the little Jew
2:15Who wrote the Bible
2:18I've seen the nations rise and fall
2:22I've heard their stories heard them all
2:25But love's the only engine of survival
2:32Your servant here he has been told
2:35To say it clear to say it cold
2:39It's over it ain't going
2:41Any further
2:45And now the wheels of heaven stop
2:49You feel the devil's riding crop
2:52Get ready for the future
2:55It is murder
2:59Things are going to slide
3:03Slide in all directions
3:05Won't be nothing
3:07Won't be nothing
3:08You can measure anymore
3:12The blizzard the blizzard of the world
3:17Has crossed the threshold
3:19And it has overturned
3:21The order of the soul
3:26When they said they said repent repent repent repent
3:32I wonder what they meant
3:36When they said they said repent repent repent repent
3:42I wonder what they meant
3:46When they said they said repent repent repent repent
3:52I wonder what they meant
3:59There'll be the breaking of the ancient
4:02Western code
4:07Your private life will suddenly explode
4:13There'll be phantoms
4:15There'll be fires on the road
4:18And the white man dancing
4:26You'll see a woman
4:28Hanging upside down
4:34Her features covered by her fallen gown
4:40And all the lousy little poets
4:43Coming round
4:45Tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
4:53And the white man dancin'
5:01Give me back the Berlin wall
5:04Give me Stalin and St. Paul
5:08Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima
5:14Destroy another fetus now
5:17We don't like children anyhow
5:21I've seen the future baby
5:24It is murder
5:28Things are going to slide slide in all directions
5:34Won't be nothing
5:36Won't be nothing
5:37You can measure anymore
5:41The blizzard the blizzard of the world
5:45Has crossed the threshold
5:47And it has overturned
5:50The order of the soul
5:54When they said they said repent repent repent repent
6:01I wonder what they meant
6:05When they said they said repent repent repent repent
6:11I wonder what they meant
6:15When they said they said repent repent repent repent
6:21I wonder what they meant
6:25When they said they said repent repent repent repent
