(G#dim):          456464  or  xx0101 
 
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)
