Testi

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

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

Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions

Won't be nothing (won't be nothing), nothing you can measure anymore

The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold

And it's 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

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

But love's the only engine 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

Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions

Won't be nothing (won't be nothing), nothing you can measure anymore

The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold

And it's 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

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 round

Trying to sound like Charlie Manson

Yeah, 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

Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions

Won't be nothing (won't be nothing), nothing you can measure anymore

The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold

And it's 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

When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
