Lyrics

A lot of this songs too Some of 'em you know They don't even really have titles yet you know So if you had any suggestion you know Just raise your hand So I call 'em like a line in the song you know So this one 'em We refer to it as 'Adam Lives in Theory' And when I refer to Adam I'm really speaking to all of humanity, you know Without an exception of anybody, you know And I, I know that alot of the content of this songs Is very heavy you know But ermm, fantasy is what people want but reality is what they need And I'm just retired from the fantasy part Because I realized that Y'all gon' make me cry Adam lives in theory Tryna 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 worthless 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 'Cause 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 explotation in the field She handed him her virtue 'Cause 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 three of them are dying by the poison she perceived to be good Now Eve and her husband are perverted in their judgment 'Cause 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 the brain Are 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't 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'm telling you, telling you I'm telling you, I'm telling you I'm telling you, I'm telling you He's gonna tell us, tell us, tell us Ooh ooh, eh!
