[Intro 1]
[G][C][Bm][Am]
[G][C][Bm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]Ada[C]m lives in theory
Try[Bm]na tu[Am]rn stone into bread
[G]Mas[C]querading like he's got it [Bm]figured out[Am]
[G]Cut off[C] from the sunshine,
on[Bm]ly s[Am]mart in own head
[G]Lea[C]ving his descendants[Bm]
to hope and [Am]doubt
[G]Lef[C]t to his devices,
[Bm]those wort[Am]h the sacrifices
[G]Pra[C]ying to the alter of himsel[Bm]f[Am]
[G]Mak[C]ing pilgrimages,
[Bm]thinking h[Am]e's religious
[G]Like he'[C]s got all the light,
and no one [Bm]else[Am]
[Em]He takes the unsuspected
'cause he knows they're not connected
[Am]And he shows them how to be just as he is
[Em]Virtually real, and commercially appealed
[Bm]To the lust of all the people where he lives[Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]Eve[C] was so naive,
[Bm]blinded by t[Am]he pride and greed
[G]Wan[C]ting to be intellectua[Bm]l[Am]
[G]Dri[C]fting from the way
[Bm]she got [Am]turned down one day
[G]And now she thi[C]nks
that she's bisex[Bm]ual[Am]
[Em]Caught up in emotion
Burning up in her devotion
[Am]To the king of exploitaion in the field
[Em]She handed him her virtue
'cause he told her "I won't hurt you"
[Bm]So she lay with him to see
how good it [Am]feels

[Chorus 1]
Now can you [G]tell me, [C]what,
what we gonna do [Bm]now[Am]
Where we gonna [G]go [C]now,
what we gonna say [Bm]now[Am]
Now can you [G]tell me, [C]what,
what we gonna [Bm]do n[Am]ow
Where we gonna [G]go [C]now,
what we gonna say [Bm]now[Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]Now[C] after the sensation,
[Bm]and the [Am]empty fornication
[G]She bro[C]ught affection home
into her [Bm]bed,[Am]
[G]qui[C]ckly multiplying
[Bm]Now the 3 of[Am] them are dying
[G]by the poi[C]son
she perceived to be good [Bm]head[Am]
[G]Now Eve and[C] her husband
[Bm]are [Am]perverted in their judgment
[G]'cause eve[C]rything appears
to be the [Bm]same[Am]
[G]They enter[C]tain suggestion,
[Bm]Next time [Am]just use protection
[G]Desirin[C]g
to cover up their [Bm]shame[Am]
[Em]But much to their demise,
poor decision closed their eyes
[Am]To the very antidote to their dilemma
[Em]Burning in their lust
Both of them were dealt to us
[Bm]Destroying the origi[Am]nal agenda

[Verse 4]
[G]Pra[C]ying to the sky,
in or[Bm]der t[Am]o maintain a lie
[G]They exhausted [C]every possible
con[Bm]clusion[Am]
[G]They can't eve[C]n entertain
[Bm]the solu[Am]tion
In a [G]brain filled [C]with vain information
and pol[Bm]lution[Am]
[Em]Hiding from the truth
He provided an excuse
[Am]to explain away his desperate situation
[Em]When confronted, blamed his wife
Giving birth to carnal life
[Bm]Refusing to acknowledge what[Am] he done

[Verse 5]
[G]Now if we [C]can agree
[Bm]with who creat[Am]ed us to be
[G]Who says we're gui[C]lty everyone
be[Bm]fore his [Am]eyes
[G]Mak[C]ing no exceptions,
[Bm]since the [Am]day of our conception
[G]Pre[C]disposed to hating truth,
and loving [Bm]lies[Am]

[Chorus 2]
Then can you [G]tell me, [C]what,
what we gonna do [Bm]now[Am]
Where we gonna [G]go [C]now,
what we gonna say [Bm]now[Am]
Then can you [G]tell me, [C]what,
what we gonna do [Bm]now[Am]
Where we gonna go [G]now,[C]
what we gonna say [Bm]now[Am]

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Stop walking in pride,
[Am]let the thief be crucified
[Bm]Unlearn everything you know,
and let him [Am]teach you
[Em]Line upon line,
[Am]every step upon pre-step
[Bm]Say goodbye
to this decaying so[Am]cial system
[Em]He wants to know,
[Am]how far we're willing to go
[Bm]If we love him like we say we do
He will [Am]try us
[Em]Just don't regress
[Am]Or slip into hopelessness
[Bm]Once he's satisfied his love,
He [Am]won't deny us

[Chorus 3]
And then He'll [G]tell us, [C]what,
what we gonna [Bm]do n[Am]ow
Where we gonna [G]go [C]now,
what we gonna say [Bm]now[Am]
And then He'll [G]tell us, [C]what,
what we gonna do [Bm]now[Am]
Where we gonna [G]go [C]now,
what we gonna say [Bm]now[Am]

[Outro 1]
I'm [G]telling you, [C]telling you
I'm [Bm]tellin you, [Am]I'm telling you
I'm [G]telling you, [C]I'm telling you
He's [Bm]gona tell [Am]us, tell us, tell us
[G][C][Bm][Am]
[G][C][Bm][Am]
