Tim O'brien You Ate The Apple
(*Tim O'Brien, Jonathan Byrd)
You ate the apple?*
I told you not to eat the apple
How many times did I tell you?
Your friend the Serpent?
If he said jump off a cliff
Would you jump off a cliff, too?
The fruit was poisoned and made you lose your mind
When you pass judgment, you leave paradise behind
You see good and evil, everywhere is right and wrong
You can't be satisfied and you can't get along
You ate the apple
I told you not to eat the apple
How many times did I tell you?
What were you thinking?
Didn't you know you had it made
Livin' here in the garden?
You ate the apple
You had to taste forbidden fruit
You had to look behind the curtain
It used to be simple, you had no fear or shame
Now you know too much and it's never gonna be same
Instead of layin' here in the shade you're gonna toil out in the sun
I got a whole new set of rules, it used to be just one
You ate the apple
I told you not to eat the apple
How many times did I tell you?
Go put some clothes on
If you're gonnna try to dress yourself
You'll need more than a fig leaf
When you have your own kids
You can make up your own rules
Right now don't cry to me
The fruit was poisoned and made you lose your mind
When you pass judgment, you leave paradise behind
You see good and evil, everywhere is right and wrong
You can't be satisfied and you can't get along
You ate the apple?
I told you not to eat the apple, how many times did I tell you?
