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
An 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 cruch
Go on an throw me to the lions
And the whole damn screamin` bunch
`Cause the pissed-off rip-offs
`R` 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 ya tell me what my eyes see
Don`t ya tell me who to believe in
I ain`t superstitious
But I know when somethin`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
(An we ain`t talkin` about no poison apple or some missin` rib ya hear)
Said we`re lost in the garden of Eden
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
