Intro: Am 
 
 Am 
Give me back my broken night 
    Dm 
My mirrored room, my secret life 
      G#dim 
It‘s lonely here 
         E7             Am 
There‘s no one left to torture 
 Am 
Give me absolute control 
Dm 
Over every living soul 
     G#dim            E7 
And lie beside me, baby 
          Am 
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 
 
  Dm                         C 
Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions 
          Dm                                  C 
Won‘t be nothing (won‘t be), nothing you can measure anymore 
      Dm                           F 
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world 
                   F 
Has crossed the threshold 
           Fm 
And it has overturned 
                  C 
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 
 
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 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 (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 
 
                  Am 
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 
                   F      E7 
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 round 
                              F      E7 
Trying to sound like Charlie Manson 
                    Am 
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 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 (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)
