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!
