Verse 1
(A major) Adam (D major) lives in theory
Tryna (C sharp minor) turn (B minor) stone into bread
(A major) Masquerading (D major) like he's got it (C sharp minor) figured out (B minor)
(A major) Cut (D major) off from the sunshine,
on (C sharp minor) ly smart (B minor) in own head
(A major) (D major) Leaving his descendants (C sharp minor)
to hope and (B minor) doubt
(A major) Left (D major) to his devices,
(C sharp minor) those (B minor) worth the sacrifices
(A major) Praying (D major) to the alter of him (C sharp minor) self (B minor)
(A major) Making (D major) pilgrimages,
(C sharp minor) thinking (B minor) he's religious
(A major) Like he's (D major) got all the light,
and no one (C sharp minor) else (B minor)
(F sharp minor) He takes the unsuspected
'cause he knows they're not connected
(B minor) And he shows them how to be just as he is
(F sharp minor) Virtually real, and commercially appealed
(C sharp minor) To the lust of all the people where he lives (B minor)

Verse 2
(A major) Eve (D major) was so naive,
(C sharp minor) blinded by (B minor) the pride and greed
(A major) Wanting (D major) to be intellectual (C sharp minor) (B minor)
(A major) Drifting (D major) from the way
(C sharp minor) she (B minor) got turned down one day
(A major) And now she (D major) thinks
that she's bisexual (C sharp minor) (B minor)
(F sharp minor) Caught up in emotion
Burning up in her devotion
(B minor) To the king of exploitaion in the field
(F sharp minor) She handed him her virtue
'cause he told her "I won't hurt you"
(C sharp minor) So she lay with him to see
how good it (B minor) feels
Chorus 1
Now can you tell (A major) me, what, (D major)
what we gonna do now (C sharp minor) (B minor)
Where we gonna go (A major) now, (D major)
what we gonna say now (C sharp minor) (B minor)
Now can you tell (A major) me, what, (D major)
what we gonna do (C sharp minor) now (B minor)
Where we gonna (A major) go now, (D major)
what we gonna say now (C sharp minor) (B minor)
Verse 3
(A major) Now (D major) after the sensation,
and (C sharp minor) the (B minor) empty fornication
(A major) She brought (D major) affection home
into her bed, (C sharp minor) (B minor)
(A major) quickly (D major) multiplying
(C sharp minor) Now the 3 (B minor) of them are dying
(A major) by the poison (D major)
she perceived to be good (C sharp minor) head (B minor)
(A major) Now Eve (D major) and her husband
are (C sharp minor) perverted (B minor) in their judgment
(A major) 'cause everything (D major) appears
to be the same (C sharp minor) (B minor)
(A major) They en (D major) tertain suggestion,
(C sharp minor) Next time (B minor) just use protection
(A major) Desi (D major) ring
to cover up their shame (C sharp minor) (B minor)
(F sharp minor) But much to their demise,
poor decision closed their eyes
(B minor) To the very antidote to their dilemma
(F sharp minor) Burning in their lust
Both of them were dealt to us
(C sharp minor) Destroying the original (B minor) agenda
Verse 4
(A major) Praying (D major) to the sky,
in or (C sharp minor) der (B minor) to maintain a lie
(A major) They exhaust (D major) ed every possible
con (C sharp minor) clusion (B minor)
(A major) They can't even (D major) entertain
(C sharp minor) the solution (B minor)
In a brain (A major) filled with (D major) vain information
and pol (C sharp minor) lution (B minor)
(F sharp minor) Hiding from the truth
He provided an excuse
(B minor) to explain away his desperate situation
(F sharp minor) When confronted, blamed his wife
Giving birth to carnal life
(C sharp minor) Refusing to acknowledge what (B minor) he done
Verse 5
Now (A major) if we can (D major) agree
(C sharp minor) with who created (B minor) us to be
(A major) Who says we're (D major) guilty everyone
be (C sharp minor) fore his eyes (B minor)
(A major) Making (D major) no exceptions,
since (C sharp minor) the day (B minor) of our conception
(A major) Predisposed (D major) to hating truth,
and loving (C sharp minor) lies (B minor)
Chorus 2
Then can you tell (A major) me, what, (D major)
what we gonna do (C sharp minor) now (B minor)
Where we gonna go (A major) now, (D major)
what we gonna say now (C sharp minor) (B minor)
Then can you (A major) tell me, what, (D major)
what we gonna do (C sharp minor) now (B minor)
Where we gonna go (A major) now, (D major)
what we gonna say now (C sharp minor) (B minor)
Bridge 1
(F sharp minor) Stop walking in pride,
(B minor) let the thief be crucified
(C sharp minor) Unlearn everything you know,
and let him (B minor) teach you
(F sharp minor) Line upon line,
(B minor) every step upon pre-step
(C sharp minor) Say goodbye
to this decaying social (B minor) system
(F sharp minor) He wants to know,
(B minor) how far we're willing to go
(C sharp minor) If we love him like we say we do
He will try (B minor) us
(F sharp minor) Just don't regress
(B minor) Or slip into hopelessness
(C sharp minor) Once he's satisfied his love,
He won't (B minor) deny us
Chorus 3
And then He'll tell (A major) us, what, (D major)
what we gonna do (C sharp minor) now (B minor)
Where we gonna go (A major) now, (D major)
what we gonna say (C sharp minor) now (B minor)
And then He'll (A major) tell us, what, (D major)
what we gonna do (C sharp minor) now (B minor)
Where we gonna go (A major) now, (D major)
what we gonna say now (C sharp minor) (B minor)
Outro 1
I'm (A major) telling you, (D major) telling you
I'm (C sharp minor) tellin you, (B minor) I'm telling you
I'm (A major) telling you, (D major) I'm telling you
He's gona (C sharp minor) tell (B minor) us, tell us, tell us
(A major) (D major) (C sharp minor) (B minor)
(A major) (D major) (C sharp minor) (B minor)
