LAURYN HILL lyrics : "Adam Lives In Theory"

Adam lives in theory
Trying to 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 worth the 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
Cuz 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 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 dying 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 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 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
