Am

[Verse 1]

Dm

Give me back my broken night, my mirrored room, my secret life

G6 E7 Am

it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture

Dm

Give me absolute control over every living soul

G6 Am

And lie beside me baby, that's an order!

Dm

Give me crack an anal sex, take the only tree that's left

G6 E7 Am

and stuff it up the hole in your culture

Dm

Give me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul

G6 E7 Am

I've seen the future, brother: it is murder.

[Chorus]

Dm C

Things are gonna slide (slide) in all directions

Dm C

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

Dm F

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

Fm C

and it has overturned the order of the soul

G

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

Am

I wonder what they meant

G

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

Am

I wonder what they meant

G

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

Am

I wonder what they meant

[Verse 2]

(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.

[Chorus]

Dm C

Things are gonna slide (slide) in all directions

Dm C

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

Dm F

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

Fm C

and it has overturned the order of the soul

G

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

Am

I wonder what they meant

G

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

Am

I wonder what they meant

G

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

Am

I wonder what they meant

[Verse 3]

There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code

Dm

Your private life will suddenly explode

Am

There'll be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road

F7 E

and the white man dancing

Am

You'll see your woman hanging upside down

Dm

her features covered by her fallen gown

Am

and all the lousy little poets coming around

F7 E

trying to sound like Charlie Manson

Am

and the white man dancing

Dm

Give me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul

G6 E7 Am

Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima

Dm

Destroy another fetus now, we don't like children anyhow

G6 E7 Am

I've seen the future, baby: it is murder.

[Chorus]

Dm C

Things are gonna slide (slide) in all directions

Dm C

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

Dm F

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

Fm C

and it has overturned the order of the soul
