"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
