The Future Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

The Future Songtext

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 every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That′s an order

Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
Stuff it up the hole
In your culture

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. 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 has overturned the order of the soul

When they said repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent
I wonder what they meant

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
Give me Christ
Or give me Hiroshima

Destroy another fetus now
We don′t like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby
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 has overturned the order of the soul


When they said repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent
