Adam lives in theory
|
Trying to turn stone into bread
|
Masquerading like he got it figured out
|
Cut off from the sunshine, only smart in his own head
|
Leaving his descendants to hope and doubt
|
Left to his devices, those worth the sacrifices
|
Praying to the alter of himself
|
Making pilgrimages, thinking he's religious
|
Like he's got all the light, and no one else
|
|
He takes the unsuspected
|
Cuz he knows they're not connected
|
And he shows them how to be just as he is
|
Virtually real, and commercially appealed
|
To the lust of all the people where he lives
|
|
Eve was so naive, blinded by the pride and greed
|
Wanting to be intellectual
|
Drifting from the way she got turned down one day
|
And now she thinks that she's bisexual
|
|
Caught up in emotion
|
Burning up in her devotion
|
To the king of exploitaion in the field
|
She handed him her virtue
|
Cuz he told her "I won't hurt you"
|
So she lay with him to see how good it feels
|
|
Now can you tell me, what, what we gonna do now
|
Where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now
|
Now can you tell me, what, what we gonna do now
|
Where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now
|
|
Now after the sensation, and the empty fornication
|
She brought affection home into her bed, quickly multiplying
|
Now the 3 of them are dying by the poison she perceived to be good head
|
Now Eve and her husband are perverted in their judgment
|
Cuz everything appears to be the same
|
They entertain suggestion,
|
Next time just use protection
|
|
Desiring to cover up their shame
|
But much to their demise, poor decision closed their eyes
|
To the very antidote to their dilemma
|
Burning in their lust,
|
Both of them adulterous
|
Destroying the original agenda
|
Praying to the sky, in order to maintain a lie
|
They exhausted every possible conclusion,
|
They can't even entertain the solution,
|
In a brain filled with vain information and pollution
|
|
Hiding from the truth,
|
He provided an excuse to explain away his desperate situation
|
When confronted, blamed his wife
|
Giving birth to carnal life
|
Refusing to acknowledge what he done
|
|
Now if we can agree with who created us to be
|
Who says we're guilty everyone before his eyes
|
Making no exceptions, since the day of our conception
|
Predisposed to hating truth, and loving lies
|
|
Then can you tell me, what, what we gonna do now
|
Where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now
|
Then can you tell me, what, what we gonna do now
|
Where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now
|
|
Stop walking in pride, let the thief be crucified
|
Un-learn everything you know, and let him teach you
|
Line upon line, every step upon pre-step, say goodbye,
|
To this decaying social system
|
He wants to know, how far we're willing to go
|
If we love him like we say we do,
|
He will try us
|
|
Just don't regress,
|
Or slip into hopelessness
|
Once he's satisfied his love,
|
He won't deny us,
|
|
And then he'll tell us,
|
What, what we gonna do now
|
Where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now
|
|
And then he'll tell us,
|
What, what we gonna do now
|
Where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now
|
