Guns N' Roses - Garden of Eden lyrics
[Guns N' Roses - Garden of Eden lyrics]
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
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
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem, you can't stop
It's rock n' roll
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 anyway 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
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
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem, you can't stop
It's rock n' roll suck on that
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
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
Oh yeah
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
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem, you can't stop
It's rock n' roll
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
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem, you can't stop
It's rock n' roll
And the east coast got the blues
It's a mass of confusion
Like the lies they sell to you
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

Watch them come in off the streets
