Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You got a glass-jawed toothache of a mental disease
An they be running' '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 they're slammin' to the crunch
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't stop
It's rock 'n' roll
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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't stop
It's rock 'n' roll
Suck on that
[Verse 5]
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 something's wrong
I've been draggin' my heels with a bitch called hope
Let the undercurrent drag me along
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can't stop
It's rock 'n' roll
Lost in the Garden of Eden
Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden (An we ain't talkin' about no poison apple)
Said there's no one's gonna believe this (Or some missin' rib ya hear)
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
[Verse 9]
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can't stop
It's rock 'n' roll
