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 dieing by the poison she perceived to be good head3

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 were dealt to us

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 I am telling you telling you I am telling you I am telling you I am telling you I am telling you is going telling telling telling you
