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
