[al:The Future]
[offset:500]
[00:10.00]Give me back my broken night
[00:13.00]my mirrored room, my secret life
[00:16.00]it’s lonely here,
[00:18.00]there’s no one left to torture
[00:23.00]Give me absolute control
[00:27.00]over every living soul
[00:30.00]And lie beside me, baby,
[00:33.00]that’s an order!
[00:35.00]
[00:37.00]Give me crack and **** sex
[00:40.00]Take the only tree that’s left
[00:43.00]and stuff it up the hole
[00:46.00]in your culture
[00:50.00]Give me back the Berlin wall
[00:55.00]give me Stalin and St Paul
[00:57.00]I’ve seen the future, brother:
[01:00.00]it is murder.
[01:02.00]
[01:04.00]Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
[01:10.00]Won’t be nothing
[01:12.00]Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:17.00]The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
[01:22.00]has crossed the threshold
[01:25.00]and it has overturned
[01:27.00]the order of the soul
[01:31.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:37.00]I wonder what they meant
[01:40.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:47.00]I wonder what they meant
[01:50.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:57.00]I wonder what they meant
[02:00.00]
[02:05.00]You don’t know me from the wind
[02:08.00]you never will, you never did
[02:11.00]I’m the little jew
[02:14.00]who wrote the Bible
[02:18.00]I’ve seen the nations rise and fall
[02:21.00]I’ve heard their stories, heard them all
[02:24.00]but love’s the only engine of survival
[02:32.00]Your servant here, he has been told
[02:36.00]to say it clear, to say it cold:
[02:39.00]It’s over, it ain’t going
[02:41.00]any further
[02:45.00]And now the wheels of heaven stop
[02:48.00]you feel the devil’s riding crop
[02:52.00]Get ready for the future:
[02:55.00]it is murder
[02:57.00]
[02:59.00]Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
[03:05.00]Won’t be nothing
[03:08.00]Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:12.00]The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
[03:17.00]has crossed the threshold
[03:19.00]and it has overturned
[03:21.00]the order of the soul
[03:24.00]
[03:26.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:32.00]I wonder what they meant
[03:36.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:42.00]I wonder what they meant
[03:47.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:53.00]I wonder what they meant
[03:56.00]
[03:59.00]There’ll be the breaking of the ancient
[04:02.00]western code
[04:07.00]Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:13.00]There’ll be phantoms
[04:15.00]There’ll be fires on the road
[04:18.00]and the white man dancing
[04:25.00]You’ll see a woman
[04:28.00]hanging upside down
[04:34.00]her features covered by her fallen gown
[04:39.00]and all the lousy little poets
[04:43.00]coming round
[04:45.00]tryin’ to sound like Charlie Manson
[04:53.00]and the white man dancin’
[04:55.00]
[05:02.00]Give me back the Berlin wall
[05:05.00]Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:08.00]Give me Christ
[05:09.00]or give me Hiroshima
[05:15.00]Destroy another fetus now
[05:18.00]We don’t like children anyhow
[05:22.00]I’ve seen the future, baby:
[05:25.00]it is murder
[05:27.00]
[05:29.00]Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
[05:34.00]Won’t be nothing
[05:37.00]Nothing you can measure anymore
[05:41.00]The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
[05:46.00]has crossed the threshold
[05:49.00]and it has overturned
[05:51.00]the order of the soul
[05:55.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:02.00]I wonder what they meant
[06:06.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:12.00]I wonder what they meant
[06:15.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:21.00]I wonder what they meant
[06:24.00]
[06:26.00]When they said REPENT REPENT
