Garden Of Eden (2022 Remaster)

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
