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
