  Adam Lives In Theory
    A-D  C#mi-Bmi            
Trying to turn stone into bread
    A-D  C#mi-Bmi 
Masquerading like he got it figured out
    A-D  C#mi-Bmi 
Cut off from the sunshine, only smart in his own head
    A-D  C#mi-Bmi  
Leaving his descendants to hope and doubt
    A-D  C#mi-Bmi 
Left to his devices, those worth the sacrifices
    A-D  C#mi-Bmi 
Praying to the alter of himself
     A-D  C#mi-Bmi 
Making pilgrimages, thinking he's religious
     A-D  C#mi-Bmi 
Like he's got all the light, and no one else
  
             Bridge
     F#mi                  F#mi
He takes the unsuspected, Cuz he knows they're not connected
     Bmi                   Bmi
And he shows them how to be just as he is
     F#mi                F#mi
Virtually real, and commercially appealed
     C#mi                 Bmi
To the lust of all the people where he lives

               Verse
           A-D  C#mi-Bmi
Eve was so naive, blinded by the pride and greed
           A-D  C#mi-Bmi
Wanting to be intellectual
           A-D  C#mi-Bmi
Drifting from the way she got turned down one day
           A-D  C#mi-Bmi
And now she thinks that she's bisexual

             Repeat, Watch for Tempo Change
            
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
