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

And 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 crunch

Go on and throw me to the lions and the whole damn screamin' bunch

'Cause the pissed off rip-offs are 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 you tell me what my eyes see

Don't you tell me who to believe in

I ain't superstitious, but I know when something'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

(And we ain't talkin' about no poison apple) said we're lost in the garden of Eden

(Or some missin' rib, ya hear?) 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
