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 running 'round back, see them line up on their knees 'Cause the kiss-ass 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 This fire is burning, 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 any way 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 Lost in the Garden of Eden Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden And there's no one who's gonna believe this But we're lost in the Garden of Eden This fire is burning, 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 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 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 who's gonna believe this But we're lost in the Garden of Eden, come on 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 burning, 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 Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden Said, there's no one who's gonna believe this But we're lost in the Garden of Eden This fire is burning, and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll
