The Future - Leonard Cohen
Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room my secret life
it's lonely here
there's no one left to torture

Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me baby
that's an order!

Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left

and stuff it up the hole
in your culture

Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future brother

it is murder

Things are going to slide slide in all directions

Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore

The blizzard the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul

When they said REPENT REPENT

I wonder what they meant

When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

When they said REPENT REPENT

You don't know me from the wind

you never will you never did
I'm the little jew

who wrote the Bible

I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival

Your servant here he has been told

to say it clear to say it cold

It's over it ain't going
any further

And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future

it is murder

Things are going to slide slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore

The blizzard the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned

the order of the soul

When they said REPENT REPENT

I wonder what they meant

When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

When they said REPENT REPENT

There'll be the breaking of the ancient

western code

Your private life will suddenly explode

There'll be phantoms

There'll be fires on the road

and the white man dancing

You'll see a woman

hanging upside down

her features covered by her fallen gown

and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson

and the white man dancin'

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ

or give me Hiroshima

Destroy another fetus now

We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future baby
it is murder

Things are going to slide slide in all directions
Won't be nothing

Nothing you can measure anymore

The blizzard the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned

the order of the soul

When they said REPENT REPENT

I wonder what they meant

When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

When they said REPENT REPENT

I wonder what they meant

When they said REPENT REPENT
