The Future - Leonard Cohen

[00:10.090]Give me back my broken night
[00:13.070]my mirrored room my secret life
[00:16.380]it's lonely here
[00:18.130]there's no one left to torture
[00:23.580]Give me absolute control
[00:27.020]over every living soul
[00:29.939]And lie beside me baby
[00:32.649]that's an order!
[00:37.139]Give me crack and anal ***
[00:40.790]Take the only tree that's left
[00:43.999]and stuff it up the hole
[00:46.319]in your culture
[00:50.639]Give me back the Berlin wall
[00:53.999]give me Stalin and St Paul
[00:57.059]I've seen the future brother
[00:59.909]it is murder
[01:04.209]Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[01:10.119]Won't be nothing
[01:12.649]Nothing you can measure anymore
[01:17.339]The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[01:22.300]has crossed the threshold
[01:23.589]and it has overturned
[01:25.899]the order of the soul
[01:30.689]When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:37.599]I wonder what they meant
[01:40.609]When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:46.927]I wonder what they meant
[01:50.689]When they said REPENT REPENT
[01:57.109]I wonder what they meant
[02:05.080]You don't know me from the wind
[02:09.100]you never will you never did
[02:11.910]I'm the little jew
[02:14.500]who wrote the Bible
[02:18.279]I've seen the nations rise and fall
[02:22.600]I've heard their stories heard them all
[02:25.060]but love's the only engine of survival
[02:31.830]Your servant here he has been told
[02:35.600]to say it clear to say it cold
[02:38.590]It's over it ain't going
[02:41.540]any further
[02:45.270]And now the wheels of heaven stop
[02:49.300]you feel the devil's riding crop
[02:52.040]Get ready for the future
[02:54.910]it is murder
[02:59.230]Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[03:05.260]Won't be nothing
[03:07.680]Nothing you can measure anymore
[03:12.500]The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[03:16.580]has crossed the threshold
[03:18.800]and it has overturned
[03:20.800]the order of the soul
[03:25.900]When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:31.870]I wonder what they meant
[03:35.680]When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:42.010]I wonder what they meant
[03:45.820]When they said REPENT REPENT
[03:52.180]I wonder what they meant
[03:59.000]There'll be the breaking of the ancient
[04:03.000]western code
[04:06.700]Your private life will suddenly explode
[04:12.880]There'll be phantoms
[04:14.900]There'll be fires on the road
[04:18.000]and the white man dancing
[04:25.890]You'll see a woman
[04:28.150]hanging upside down
[04:34.200]her features covered by her fallen gown
[04:39.830]and all the lousy little poets
[04:44.100]coming round
[04:45.080]tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
[04:52.990]and the white man dancin'
[05:01.140]Give me back the Berlin wall
[05:05.300]Give me Stalin and St Paul
[05:07.840]Give me Christ
[05:09.210]or give me Hiroshima
[05:14.240]Destroy another fetus now
[05:17.990]We don't like children anyhow
[05:20.990]I've seen the future baby
[05:24.320]it is murder
[05:28.210]Things are going to slide slide in all directions
[05:34.160]Won't be nothing
[05:36.609]Nothing you can measure anymore
[05:41.350]The blizzard the blizzard of the world
[05:45.500]has crossed the threshold
[05:47.800]and it has overturned
[05:50.400]the order of the soul
[05:54.510]When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:00.810]I wonder what they meant
[06:04.590]When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:10.970]I wonder what they meant
[06:14.690]When they said REPENT REPENT
[06:21.110]I wonder what they meant
[06:24.910]When they said REPENT REPENT
