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 running 'round back

See them line up on their knees

'Cause the kiss-ass sycophants

Throwing penance at your feet

When they got nowhere to go

Watch them come in off the streets

While they're banging out front

Inside they're slamming to the crunch

Go on an throw me to the lions

And the whole damn screaming bunch

'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs, they're everywhere you turn

Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn

This fire is burning, and it's out of control

It's not a problem, you can't 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 feeling, 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 who's gonna believe this

But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

This fire is burning, and it's out of control

It's not a problem, you can't stop, it's rock n' roll

Suck on that

Looking through this point of view

There's no way I'm gonna fit in

No, 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 dragging 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 who's gonna believe this

But we're lost in the Garden of Eden, come on

Oh yeah

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 burning, and it's out of control

It's not a problem, you can't stop, it's rock n' roll

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden

(And we ain't talkin' about no poison apple

Or some missin' rib, ya hear?)

Said, there's no one who's gonna believe this

Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden

This fire is burning, and it's out of control

It's not a problem, you can't stop, it's rock n' roll
