  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 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 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
