Garden Of Eden

Tom: E

            E
   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
  A                C
   Sometimes when I look out
  A      C     A         C
   It's hard to see the day
  A        C    A          C     A
   It's a feelin' you can have it
             E    Eb   D  C
   It's not mine to take away

   G
   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
       C            A
   With a bitch called hope
           E     Eb     D     C
   Let the undercurrent drag me along

   G
   Lost in the garden of Eden
   Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
   And there's no one's gonna believe this
                                        A B G A
   But we're lost in the garden of Eden

    G
   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
