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
E
You got a glass jawed toothache
Of a mental disease
And they be runnin' round back
See'em line up on their kness
'Cause the kiss ass sycophants
Throwin' penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go
Watch'em come in off the streets
G
While they're bagin' out front
Inside they're slammin' to the crunch
Go on and 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 supposed to learn
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
G
It's a rock'n'roll
E
I read it on a wall
It went straight to my mind
It said "dance to the tension
Of a world on the 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
G
It's rock'n'roll
Suck on that
E
Lookin' 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
A C A
I ain't superstitious
C A C
But I know when something's wrong
A C A
I've been draggin' my heels

With a bitch called hope
E Eb D C
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 Eden

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
The fire is burnin' and it's out fo control
It's not a problem you can stop
G
It's rock'n'roll
G
Lost in the garden of Eden
(And we ain't takin' about no poison apple
Or some missin' rib' ya hear)
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
Said there's no one's gonna believe this
Said 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
G
It's rock'n'roll
