Garden Of
Eden
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
And 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
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n'
roll
