[00:10.39] Give me back my broken night
[00:13.37] my mirrored room my secret life
[00:16.68] it's lonely here
[00:18.43] there's no one left to torture
[00:23.88] Give me absolute control
[00:27.32] over every living soul
[00:30.24] And lie beside me baby
[00:32.95] that's an order!
[00:37.44] Give me crack and anal sex
[00:40.74] Take the only tree that's left
[00:44.03] and stuff it up the hole
[00:46.62] in your culture
[00:50.94] Give me back the Berlin wall
[00:54.30] give me Stalin and St Paul
[00:57.36] I've seen the future brother
[01:00.21] it is murder
[01:04.51] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[01:10.42] Won't be nothing
[01:12.95] Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:17.64] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[01:21.71] has crossed the threshold
[01:23.89] and it has overturned
[01:26.02] the order of the soul
[01:30.73] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:37.01] I wonder what they meant
[01:40.91] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:47.23] I wonder what they meant
[01:50.99] When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:57.41] I wonder what they meant
[02:05.38] You don't know me from the wind
[02:08.77] you never will you never did
[02:12.21] I'm the little jew
[02:14.80] who wrote the Bible
[02:18.58] I've seen the nations rise and fall
[02:22.09] I've heard their stories heard them all
[02:25.36] but love's the only engine of survival
[02:32.13] Your servant here he has been told
[02:35.72] to say it clear to say it cold
[02:38.89] It's over it ain't going
[02:41.84] any further
[02:45.57] And now the wheels of heaven stop
[02:49.06] you feel the devil's riding crop
[02:52.34] Get ready for the future
[02:55.21] it is murder
[02:59.53] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[03:05.56] Won't be nothing
[03:07.98] Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:12.71] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[03:16.88] has crossed the threshold
[03:19.01] and it has overturned
[03:21.01] the order of the soul
[03:25.75] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:32.17] I wonder what they meant
[03:35.98] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:42.31] I wonder what they meant
[03:46.12] When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:52.48] I wonder what they meant
[03:59.03] There'll be the breaking of the ancient
[04:03.03] western code
[04:07.00] Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:13.18] There'll be phantoms
[04:15.20] There'll be fires on the road
[04:18.30] and the white man dancing
[04:26.19] You'll see a woman
[04:28.45] hanging upside down
[04:33.78] her features covered by her fallen gown
[04:40.13] and all the lousy little poets
[04:43.77] coming round
[04:45.38] tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
[04:53.29] and the white man dancin'
[05:01.44] Give me back the Berlin wall
[05:04.79] Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:08.14] Give me Christ
[05:09.51] or give me Hiroshima
[05:14.54] Destroy another fetus now
[05:18.29] We don't like children anyhow
[05:21.29] I've seen the future baby
[05:24.62] it is murder
[05:28.51] Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[05:34.46] Won't be nothing
[05:36.91] Nothing you can measure anymore
[05:41.65] The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[05:45.80] has crossed the threshold
[05:48.01] and it has overturned
[05:50.07] the order of the soul
[05:54.81] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:01.11] I wonder what they meant
[06:04.89] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:11.27] I wonder what they meant
[06:14.99] When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:21.41] I wonder what they meant
[06:25.21] When they said REPENT REPENT
