Texte :
Adam lives in theory tryinna turn stone into bread
Masquerading like he's 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, thinkin 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, burnin up in her devotion
To the king of exploitation in the field
She handed him her virtue, cuz he told her ''I won't hurt you''
So she lay with 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 (*2)
Now after the sensation and the empty fornication
She brought affection home into her bed
Quickly multiplying, now the three of them are dying
By the poison she perceivred to be good...head
Now Eve an her husband are perverted in their judgement
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
Burnin in their lust, both of them are dealt to us
Destroying the original agenda
Prayin 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
Hidin from the truth, he provided an excuse
To explain away his desperate situation
When confronted, blamed his wife givin 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
Makin 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 (*2)
Stop walkin in pride, let the thief be crucified
Un-learn everything you know and let him teach you
Line upon line and precept upon precept
Say goodbye to this dacaying 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 in hopelessness
Once he's satisfied his love, he won't deny us
And then he'll tell us what, what whe gonna do now
Where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now (*2)
