The Future piano leadsheet with chords

Give me back my broken night,

my mirrored room, my secret life,

it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture.

Give me absolute control over ev'ry living soul,

and lie beside me, baby, that's an order!

Give me crack and anal sex,

take the only tree that's left,

and I'm stuff it up the hole in your culture.

Give me back the Berlin Wall,

give me Stalin and Saint Paul,

I've seen the future, brother:

it is murder.

Things are going to slide,

slide in all directions, won't be nothing,

nothing you can measure anymore.

The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul.

When they said, "Repent, repent."

I wonder what they meant.

You don't know me from the wind,

you never will, you never did,

I'm the little Jew who wrote the Bible.

I've seen nations rise and fall,

I've heard their stories, them all,

but love's the only broth en of survival.

Things are going to slide,

slide in all directions, won't be nothing,

nothing you can measure anymore.

The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul.

When they said, "Repent, repent."

I wonder what they meant.

There'll be the breaking of the ancient Westtern code,

your private life will suddenly explode.

There'll be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road,

and the white man dancing.

You'll see the woman hanging upside down,

her features covered by her fallen gown,

and all the lousy little poets coming 'round,

trying to sound like

Charlie Manson,

and the white man dancing.

When they said, "Repent, repent."
