[Intro]

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 1]

You got a glass-jawed toothache of a mental disease

And they be running 'round back, see them line up on their knees

'Cause the kiss-ass sycophants, throwing penance at your feet

When they got nowhere to go, watch them come in off the streets

While they're banging out front inside they're slamming to the crunch

Go on an throw me to the lions and the whole damn screaming bunch

'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs, they're everywhere you turn

Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn

[Bridge]

This fire is burning, and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can stop, it's rock n' roll

[Verse 2]

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 any way it can be

Sometimes, when I look out, it's hard to see the day

It's a feeling, you can have it, it's not mine to take away

[Chorus]

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden

And there's no one who's gonna believe this

But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

[Post-Chorus]

This fire is burning, and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can stop, it's rock n' roll

Suck on that

[Verse 3]

Looking through this point of view, there's no way I'm gonna fit in

Don't you tell me what my eyes see, don't you tell me who to believe in

I ain't superstitious, but I know when something's wrong

I've been dragging my heels with a bitch called hope

Let the undercurrent drag me along

[Chorus]

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden

And there's no one who's gonna believe this

But we're lost in the Garden of Eden, come on

[Guitar Solo]

Oh yeah

[Verse 4]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

This fire is burning, and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can stop, it's rock n' roll

[Chorus]

Lost in the Garden of Eden

Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden

(And we ain't talkin' about no poison apple

Or some missin' rib, ya hear?)

Said, there's no one who's gonna believe this

Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden

[Outro]

This fire is burning, and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can stop, it's rock n' roll
