Armor

Let it begin, let Adam in Step one: original sin Underneath the leaves, Adam found Eve Both of them found something sweet under the apple tree Then it was over, roads divide Step two: learning how to lie Let me ask a question to present day How the hell did Eve end up with all the damn blame? All the damn blame To all the dirty looks, the kitty cat calls To the ones who try and throw us up against the back walls Let me tell you something you'll understand Only the little boys tell you they're a big man To all my sisters and all our friends We have to thank them, please Strength means blessed with an enemy Oh, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me try, try, try, try harder Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Now, hand me my armor (Hand me my armor, hand me my armor) Step three: I see The unforgettable, incredible ones who came before me Brought poetry, brought science Sowed quiet seeds of self-reliance Bloom in me, so here I am You think I am high and mighty, mister? Wait 'til you meet my little sister Oh, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me try, try, try, try harder Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Now, hand me my armor What you didn't do to bury me But you didn't know I was a goddamn seed You don't scare me, I am of the earth So tired of your empire Blind men only set the world on fire Sad you can't see it You brought the flame, here comes the phoenix You make me try harder Oh, it's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Hand me my armor Oh, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me try, try, try, try harder Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Hand me my armor (Hand me my armor, hand me my armor) (Hand me my armor, hand me my armor) Hand me my armor (Hand me my armor) Hand me my armor, hand me my armor
