Eve

The bible tells me I was made for and from man And I must do for him everything that I can I must surrender to his will, yeah I must submit I can't make the household decisions coz I am unfit It tells me my place With ever-lasting grace The bible tells me I must be silent you can't hear my voice My role has been divinely defined and I have no other choice I may not be a teacher of man, I must cover up my shame These are the laws of the one who in vain I cannot name He tells me my place With ever-lasting grace And my punishment for wanting to learn Is a painful birth from which I may not return The bible tells me that I am unclean I am impure you cannot touch me and it has nothing to do with where I've been It is part of who I am, It is because I corrupt man I was asking for it just by being a woman He tells me my place With ever-lasting grace And my punishment for wanting to learn Is a painful birth from which I may not return The bible tells me I was made for and from man And I must do for him everything that I can I must surrender to his will, yeah I must submit I can't make the household decisions coz I am unfit It tells me my place With ever-lasting grace
