The Future (Live at The Complex, Los Angeles, 18th April 1993) - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)[00:00:00]
Written by:Dan Whitford[00:00:00]
Give me back the Berlin wall[00:00:00]
Give me Stalin and St. Paul[00:00:03]
Give me Christ[00:00:06]
Or give me Hiroshima[00:00:07]
I've seen the future baby it is murder[00:00:16]
Give me back my broken night[00:00:32]
My mirrored room my secret life[00:00:34]
It's lonely here[00:00:38]
There's no one left to torture[00:00:40]
Give me absolute control[00:00:44]
Over every living soul[00:00:47]
I've seen the future brother[00:00:51]
It is murder[00:00:53]
Give me crack and anal sex[00:00:57]
Take the only tree that's left[00:01:00]
Stuff it up the hole[00:01:04]
In your culture[00:01:06]
Give me back the Berlin wall[00:01:10]
Give me Stalin and St. Paul[00:01:13]
And lie beside me baby[00:01:16]
That's an order[00:01:19]
Things are going to slide slide in all directions[00:01:23]
Won't be nothing won't be[00:01:28]
Nothing you can measure anymore[00:01:31]
The blizzard the blizzard of the world[00:01:35]
Has crossed the threshold[00:01:39]
And it has overturned[00:01:41]
The order of the soul[00:01:43]
When they said they said repent repent repent repent[00:01:48]
I wonder what they meant[00:01:54]
When they said they said repent repent repent repent[00:01:57]
I wonder what they meant[00:02:03]
When they said they said repent repent repent repent[00:02:07]
You don't know me from the wind[00:02:20]
You never will you never did[00:02:24]
I'm the little Jew[00:02:27]
Who wrote the Bible[00:02:29]
I've seen the nations rise and fall[00:02:33]
I've heard their stories heard them all[00:02:36]
But love's the only engine[00:02:39]
Of survival[00:02:42]
Your servant here he has been told[00:02:45]
To say it clear to say it cold[00:02:49]
It's over it ain't going any further[00:02:52]
And now the wheels of heaven stop[00:02:58]
You feel the devil's riding crop[00:03:01]
Get ready for the future it is murder[00:03:04]
Things are going to slide slide in all directions[00:03:11]
Won't be nothing won't be[00:03:17]
Nothing you can measure anymore[00:03:19]
The blizzard the blizzard of the world[00:03:23]
Has crossed the threshold[00:03:28]
And it has overturned the order of the soul[00:03:30]
When they said they said repent repent repent repent[00:03:36]
I wonder what they meant[00:03:42]
When they said they said repent repent repent repent[00:03:45]
I wonder what they meant[00:03:51]
When they said they said repent repent repent repent[00:03:55]
There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code[00:04:07]
Western code[00:04:14]
Your private life will suddenly explode[00:04:14]
And there'll be phantoms there'll be fires on the road[00:04:20]
And the white man dancing[00:04:26]
You'll see your woman hanging upside down[00:04:33]
Her features covered by her fallen gown[00:04:40]
And all the lousy little poets coming round[00:04:45]
Trying to sound like Charlie Manson[00:04:50]
Yeah the white man dancing[00:04:58]
Give me back the Berlin wall[00:05:06]
Give me Stalin and St. Paul[00:05:09]
Give me Christ[00:05:12]
Or give me Hiroshima[00:05:14]
Destroy another fetus now[00:05:18]
We don't like children anyhow[00:05:21]
I've seen the future baby it is murder[00:05:24]
Things are going to slide slide in all directions[00:05:31]
Won't be nothing won't be nothing you can measure anymore[00:05:36]
The blizzard the blizzard of the world[00:05:43]
Has crossed the threshold[00:05:47]
And it has overturned[00:05:49]
The order of the soul[00:05:51]
When they said they said repent repent[00:05:55]
Repent repent[00:05:59]
I wonder what they meant[00:06:01]
When they said they said repent repent repent repent[00:06:05]
I wonder what they meant[00:06:11]
When they said they said repent repent[00:06:14]
Repent repent[00:06:18]
When they said they said repent repent[00:06:24]
Repent repent[00:06:27]
