Originally in Eb, I play in E (an octave down) (obviously)
Spoken
| E | |
| It’s a c | ritical solution, and the east coast got the blues |
| E | |
| It’s a | mass of confusion, like the lies they sell to you |
Vox on the b3
| E | |
| You got a g | lass-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
| G | |
| While they’re | banging out front |
Inside they’re slamming to the crunch
Go on and throw me to the lions
And the whole damn screaming bunch
Cause the pissed-off rip-offs, are everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn
Vox on the 1 on “fire”, which is originally an F# (!!!)
| G | |
| This | fire’s burning, and it’s out of control |
It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

| E | |
| I r | ead 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 |
| E | |
| It’s a feeling, you can have it, it’s not m | ine to take away |

Yeah, 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
| G | |
| This f | ire’s burning, and it’s out of control |
It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll
| G |
| Suck on that |
| E |
| 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
| A |
| I ain’t superstitious, but I know when something’s wrong |
I’ve been dragging my heels with a bitch called hope

Yeah, we’re lost in the Garden of Eden

| Most o | rganized 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
Then I'm sure they'd sell my soul

| This f | ire’s burning, and it’s out of control |
It’s not a problem you can stop it’s rock n’ roll

| Lost in the Garden of Eden (and we ain’t talkin’ about no poison apple) |
Said, we’re lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this (or some missin' rib, ya hear?)
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
