Garden of Eden

It's a critical solution

And the East Coast got the blues

It's a mass of confusion

Like the lies they sell to you

You got a glass-jawed toothache of a mental disease

An they be running' 'round back, see 'em line up on their knees

'Cause the kiss ass sycophants throwin' penance at your feet

When they got nowhere to go watch 'em come in off the streets

While they're bangin' out front, inside they're slammin' to the crunch

Go on an throw me to the lions and the whole damn screamin' bunch

'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs 'r' everywhere you turn

Tell me how a generation's ever s'posed to learn

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can't stop

It's rock 'n' roll

I read it on a wall it went straight to my head

It said, "Dance to the tension of a world on edge"

We got racial violence and who'll cast the first stone

And sex is used anyway it can be

Sometimes when I look out it's hard to see the day

It's a feelin' you can have it, it's not mine to take away

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden

And there's no one's gonna believe this

But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can't stop

It's rock 'n' roll

Suck on that

Looking through this point of view there's no way I'm gonna fit in

Don't ya tell me what my eyes see, don't ya tell me who to believe in

I ain't superstitious but I know when something's wrong

I've been draggin' my heels with a bitch called hope

Let the undercurrent drag me along

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden

And there's no one's gonna believe this

But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

Most organized religions make a mockery of humanity

Our governments are dangerous and out of control

The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard

Said if they had someone to buy it

Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can't stop

It's rock 'n' roll

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden (An we ain't talkin' about no poison apple)

Said there's no one's gonna believe this (Or some missin' rib ya hear)

But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can't stop

It's rock 'n' roll
