The Future Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Give me back my broken night
My [Dm]mirrored room, my secret life
It's [E]lonely here
There's no one left to [Am]torture
Give me absolute control
[Dm]Over every living soul
And [E]lie beside me, baby
That's an or[Am]der

[Verse 2]
[Am]Give me crack and anal sex
[Dm]Take the only tree that's left
And [E]stuff it up the hole
In your cul[Am]ture
Give me back the Berlin wall
[Dm]Give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've [E]seen the future, brother
It is [Am]murder

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Dm]Things are going to slide,
[C]slide in all directions
Won't be [Dm]nothing
Nothing you can [C]measure anymore
The [Dm]blizzard, the blizzard of the [F]world
Has crossed the threshold
And it's [Fm]overturned
The order of the [C]soul

[Chorus 1]
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant

[Verse 3]
[Am]You don't know me from the wind
You [Dm]never will, you never did
[E]I'm the little Jew
Who wrote the [Am]Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've [Dm]heard their stories, heard them all
But [E]love's the only engine of sur[Am]vival

[Verse 4]
Your [Am]servant here, he has been told
To [Dm]say it clear, to say it cold
It's [E]over, it ain't going
Any [Am]further (do, do, do)
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You [Dm]feel the devil's riding crop
Get [E]ready for the future
It is [Am]murder (do, do, do)

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Dm]Things are going to slide,
[C]slide in all directions
Won't be [Dm]nothing
Nothing you can [C]measure anymore
The [Dm]blizzard, the blizzard of the [F]world
Has crossed the threshold
And it's [Fm]overturned
The order of the [C]soul

[Chorus 2]
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant

[Bridge 1]
There'll be the [Am]breaking
of the ancient western code
Your [Dm]private life will
suddenly explode (ooh, ooh)
There'll be [Am]phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
And the white man [F]dancing[E]
You'll see a wo[Am]man
Hanging upside down (ooh, ooh)
Her [Dm]features covered
by her fallen gown (ooh, ooh)
And all the [Am]lousy little poets coming around
Tryin' to sound like Charlie [F]Manson[E]
Yeah, the white man [Am]dancin'

[Verse 5]
[Am]Give me back the Berlin wall
[Dm]Give me Stalin and St. Paul
[E]Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshi[Am]ma (do, do, do)
Destroy another fetus now
We [Dm]don't like children anyhow
I've [E]seen the future, baby
It is [Am]murder (do, do, do)

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Dm]Things are going to slide,
[C]slide in all directions
Won't be [Dm]nothing
Nothing you can [C]measure anymore
The [Dm]blizzard, the blizzard of the [F]world
Has crossed the threshold
And it's [Fm]overturned
The order of the [C]soul

[Chorus 3]
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder [Am]what they meant
When they [G]said (they said)
Repent (repent), repent [Am](repent)
