It´s a critical solution And the east coast got the blues It´s a mass of confusion Like the lies they sell to you
You got a glass jawed toothache Of a mental disease An they be runnin´ round back See ´em line up on their knees ´Cause the kiss ass sycophants Throwin´ penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go Watch ´em come in off the streets While they´re bangin´ out front Inside their slammin´ to the cruch
Go on an throw me to the lions And the whole damn screamin´ bunch ´Cause the pissed-off rip-offs ´R´ everywhere you turn Tell me how a generation´s Ever s´posed to learn This fire is burnin´ and it´s out of control It´s not a problem you can stop It´s rock n´ roll
I read it on a wall It went straight to my head It said "Dance to the tension of a world on edge" We got racial violence And who´ll cast the first stone
And sex is used anyway it can be Sometimes when I look out It´s hard to see the day It´s a feelin´ you can have it It´s not mine to take away
Lost in the garden of Eden Said we´re lost in the garden of Eden And there´s no one´s gonna believe this But we´re lost in the garden of Eden This fire is burnin´ and it´s out of control It´s not a problem you can stop It´s rock n´ roll Suck on that
Looking through this point of view
There´s no way I´m gonna fit in Don´t ya tell me what my eyes see Don´t ya tell me who to believe in I ain´t superstitious But I know when somethin´s wrong I´ve been draggin´ my heels With a bitch called hope Let the undercurrent drag me along
Lost in the garden of Eden Said we´re lost in the garden of Eden And there´s no one´s gonna believe this But we´re lost in the garden of Eden
Most organized religions make
A mockery of humanity Our governments are dangerous And out of control The garden of Eden is just another graveyard Said if they had someone to buy it Said I´m sure they´d sell my soul
This fire is burnin´ and it´s out of control It´s not a problem you can stop It´s rock n´ roll Lost in the garden of Eden (An we ain´t talkin´ about no poison apple or some missin´ rib ya hear) Said we´re lost in the garden of Eden Said there´s no one´s gonna believe this Said we´re lost in the garden of Eden This fire is burnin´ and it´s out of control
