[Verse 1]
It's a critical solution
And the east coast got the blues
It's a ma** of confusion
Like the lies they sell to you
You got a gla** jawed toothache
Of a mental disease
And they be running round back
See them line up on their knees
Cause the kiss a** 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
[Bridge]
This fire is burning
And it's out of control
It's not a problem
You can stop
It's rock n' roll
[Verse 2]
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 s** 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
This fire is burning and
It's out of control
It's not a problem
You can stop
It's rock n' roll
s** on that
[Verse 3]
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 b**h called hope
Let the undercurrent
Drag me along
[Chorus]
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, come on
[Verse 4]
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
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
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's
Gonna believe this
Said we're lost in the
Garden of Eden
[Bridge]
