Introduction:

Am
   /    /

                                 
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

[second verse:  (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.

[repeat chorus]

[third verse:]


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.


[repeat chorus]

          
G
                                                 
Am
When they said (they said) REPENT (repent) REPENT (repent)

[end on
