Tom: Am
Am Dm
Give me back my broken night, my mirrored room, my secret life
E7 Am
it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture
Am Dm
Give me absolute control over every living soul
E7 Am
And lie beside me baby, that's an order!
Am Dm
Give me crack and anal sex, take the only tree that's left
E7 Am
and stuff it up the hole in your culture.
Am Dm
Give me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul
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's overturned the order of the soul
G
When they said (they said) D PENT (repent) D PENT (repent)
Am
I wonder what they meant
G
When they said (they said) D PENT (repent) D PENT (repent)
Am
I wonder what they meant
G
When they said (they said) D PENT (repent) D PENT (repent)
Am
I wonder what they meant
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
You don't know me from the wind, you never will, you never did
E7 Am
I'm the little jew who wrote the bible
Am Dm
I've seen nations rise and fall, I've heard their stories, heard them all
E7 Am
but love's the only engine of survival
Am Dm
Your servant here, he has been told, to say it clear to say it cold
E7 Am
It's over, it ain't going any further
Am Dm
And now the wheels of heaven stop, you feel the devil's riding crop
E7 Am
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) D PENT (repent) D PENT (repent)
Am
I wonder what they meant
G
When they said (they said) D PENT (repent) D PENT (repent)
Am
I wonder what they meant

When they said (they said) D PENT (repent) D PENT (repent)
Am
I wonder what they meant
[Bridge]
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 around
F E7
trying to sound like Charlie Manson
F Am
and the white man dancing
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
Give me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul
E7 Am
Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima
Am Dm
Destroy another fetus now, we don't like children anyhow
E7 Am
I've seen the future, baby: it is murder.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Things are gonna slide (slide) in all directions

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