Natural Born Killers movie - The Future lyrics

rate me

Song by Leonard Cohen<br /><br>

Give me back my broken night <br>

My mirrored room, <br>

My secret life <br>

Its lonely here, <br>

There's no one <br>

Left to torture <br>

Give me absolute control <br>

Over every living soul <br>

And lie beside me, baby, <br>

Thats an order! <br>

<br>

Give me crack and anal sex <br>

Take the only tree thats left <br>

And stuff it up the hole <br>

In your culture <br>

Give me back the Berlin wall <br>

Give me Stalin and St Paul <br>

Ive seen the future, brother: <br>

It is murder <br>

<br>

Things are going to slide, <br>

Slide in all directions <br>

Wont be nothing <br>

Nothing you can measure <br>

Anymore <br>

The blizzard, <br>

The blizzard of the world <br>

Has crossed the threshold <br>

And it has overturned <br>

The order of the soul <br>

When they said REPENT REPENT <br>

I wonder what they meant <br>

When they said REPENT REPENT <br>

I wonder what they meant <br>

When they said REPENT REPENT <br>

I wonder what they meant <br>

<br>

You dont know me from the wind <br>

You never will, you never did <br>

Im the little jew <br>

Who wrote the Bible <br>

Ive seen the nations <br>

Rise and fall <br>

Ive heard their stories, <br>

Heard them all<br>

But loves the only engine <br>

Of survival <br>

Your servant here,<br>

He has been told <br>

To say it clear, <br>

To say it cold: <br>

Its over, it aint going <br>

Any further <br>

And now the wheels <br>

Of heaven stop <br>

You feel the devils riding crop <br>

Get ready for the future: <br>

It is murder <br>

<br>

Things are going to slide ... <br>

<br>

There'll be the breaking <br>

Of the ancient <br>

Western code <br>

Your private life <br>

Will suddenly explode <br>

Therell be phantoms <br>

Therell be fires on the road <br>

And the white man dancing <br>

Youll see a woman <br>

Hanging upside down <br>

Her features <br>

Covered by her fallen gown <br>

And all the lousy little poets <br>

Coming round <br>

Tryin to sound like <br>

Charlie Manson<br>

And the white man dancin <br>

<br>

Give me back the Berlin wall <br>

Give me Stalin and St Paul <br>

Give me Christ <br>

Or give me Hiroshima<br>

Destroy another fetus now <br>

We dont like children anyhow <br>

Ive seen the future, baby: <br>

It is murder <br>

<br>

Things are going to slide ... <br>

<br>

When they said Repent Repent ...<br>

<br>
