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
  An they be runnin' round back
  See 'em line up on their knees
  'Cause the kiss ass sycophants
  Throwin' penance at your feet
    When they got nowhere to go
  Watch 'em come in off the streets
  While they're bangin' out front
  Inside their slammin' to the cruch
  Go on an 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 s'posed to learn
  This fire is burnin'
  and it's out of control
  It's not a problem you can 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 feelin' 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'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
  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 ya tell me what my eyes see
  Don't ya tell me who to believe in
  I ain't superstitious
  But I know when somethin's wrong
  I've been draggin' 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's gonna believe this
  But we're lost in the garden of Eden
    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 burnin'
  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
  (An we ain't talkin' about no poison apple or some missin' rib ya hear)
  Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
  And 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
  It's rock n' roll
