Standard (EADGBE)

Introduction

 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 an 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.

Chorus

]

  Things are gonna 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

[second verse: (same chords as first)]

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 nations rise and fall, I've heard their stories, heard them all

but love's the only engibe 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.

[repeat chorus]

[third 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 man dancing

 You'll see your woman hanging upside down

 her features covered by her fallen gown

 and all the lousy little poets coming around

 trying to sound like Charlie Manson

 and the white man 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.

[repeat chorus]

 When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)

[end on Am]
