Adam Lives In Theory - Lauryn Hill
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 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 prestep
say goodbye
To this decaying social system
He want's 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
We gonna telling telling telling you
