The Future

Lyrics

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 anal sex
 Take the only tree that's left
 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
 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 repent repent
 I wonder what they meant
 When they said repent repent
 I wonder what they meant
 When they said repent repent
 I wonder what they meant
 ♪
 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
 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 repent repent
 I wonder what they meant
 When they said repent repent
 I wonder what they meant
 When they said repent repent
 I wonder what they meant
 When they said repent repent
