Verse 1:
D
It's a critical solution, and the east coast got the blues
D
It's a mass of confusion, like the lies they sell to you
D
You got a glass-jawed toothache of a mental disease
D
And they be running 'round back, see them line up on their knees
D
'Cause the kiss-ass sycophants, throwing penance at your feet
D
When they got nowhere to go
D
Watch them come in off the streets
F
While they're banging out front
F
Inside they're slamming to the crunch
F
Go on an throw me to the lions
F
And the whole damn screaming bunch
F
Cause the pissed-off rip-offs, they're everywhere you turn
F
Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn
Bridge:
F
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
F
It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll
Verse 2:
D
I read it on a wall, it went straight to my head
D
It said, "Dance to the tension of a world on edge"
D
We got racial violence, and who'll cast the first stone?
D
And sex is used any way it can be
G G G
Sometimes, when I look out, it's hard to see the day
G G G D G
It's a feeling, you can have it, it's not mine to take away
Chorus:
F
Lost in the Garden of Eden
F
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
F
And there's no one's gonna believe this
F
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
Bridge:
F
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
F
It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll
F
Suck on that
Verse 3:
D
Looking through this point of view
D
There's no way I'm gonna fit in
D
No, you tell me what my eyes see
D
Don't you tell me who to believe in
G G
I ain't superstitious, but I know when something's wrong
G G
I've been dragging my heels with a bitch called hope
D G
Let the undercurrent drag me along
Chorus:
F
Lost in the Garden of Eden
F
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
F
And there's no one's gonna believe this
G
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden, come on
Verse 4:
F
Most organized religions make a mockery of humanity
F
Our governments are dangerous and out of control
F
The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard
F
Said, if they had someone to buy it
F
Said, I'm sure they'd sell my soul
Bridge:
F
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
F
It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll
F
Suck on that
Chorus:
F
Lost in the Garden of Eden
F
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
F
(And we ain't talkin' about no poison apple
F
Or some missin' rib, ya hear?)
F
Said, there's no one's gonna believe this
F
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
Bridge/Outro:
F
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
F
It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll
