Leonard Cohen - The Future

Give me back my broken night

My secret room, my secret life

Its lonely here

Theres no one left to torture

Give me absolute control

Over every living soul

And lie beside me, baby

Thats an order!

Give me crack and anal sex

Take the only tree thats left

And stuff it up the hole In your culture

Give back the berlin wall

Give me stalin and st. paul

Ive seen the future, brother It is murder

Chorus

Things are going to slide in all directions

Wont be nothing

Nothing you can measure anymore

The blizzard of the world

Has crossed the threshold

And it has overturned

The order of the soul

When they said repent I wonder what they meant

When they said repent

I wonder what they meant

When they said repent

I wonder what they meant

You dont know me from the wind

You never will, you never did Im the little jew

Who wrote the bible

Ive seen nations rise and fall

Ive heard their stories, heard them all

But loves the only engine of survival

Your servant here, he has been told

To say it clear, to say it cold Its over, it aint going

Any further And now the wheels of heaven stop

You feel the devils riding crop

Get ready for the future It is murder

Chorus

Therell be the breaking of the ancient

Western code

Your private life will suddenly explode

Therell be phantoms

Therell be fires in the road

And the white man dancing

Youll see the woman Hanging upside down

Her features covered by her fallen gown

And all the lousy little poets

Coming round

Trying to sound like charlie manson

Give me back the berlin wall

Give me stalin and st. paul

Give me christ

Or give me hiroshima

Destroy another fetus now

We dont like children anyhow

Ive seen the future, baby It is murder

Chorus
