Verse 1
G
C

Adam lives in theory
Bm
Am

Tryna turn stone into bread
G
C
Bm
Am

Masquerading like he's got it figured out
G
C

Cut off from the sunshine,
Bm
Am

only smart in own head
G
C
Bm

Leaving his descendants
Am

to hope and doubt
G
C

Left to his devices,
Bm
Am

those worth the sacrifices
G
C
Bm
Am

Praying to the alter of himself
G
C

Making pilgrimages,
Bm
Am

thinking he's religious
G
C

Like he's got all the light,
Bm
Am

and no one else
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
Am

To the lust of all the people where he lives
Verse 2
G
C

Eve was so naive,
Bm
Am

blinded by the pride and greed
G
C
Bm
Am

Wanting to be intellectual
G
C

Drifting from the way
Bm
Am

she got turned down one day
G
C

And now she thinks
Bm
Am

that she's bisexual
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
Am

how good it feels
Chorus 1
G
C

Now can you tell me, what,
Bm
Am

what we gonna do now
G
C

Where we gonna go now,
Bm
Am

what we gonna say now
G
C

Now can you tell me, what,
Bm
Am

what we gonna do now
G
C

Where we gonna go now,
Bm
Am

what we gonna say now
Verse 3
G
C

Now after the sensation,
Bm
Am

and the empty fornication
G
C

She brought affection home
Bm
Am

into her bed,
G
C

quickly multiplying
Bm
Am

Now the 3 of them are dying
G
C

by the poison
Bm
Am

she perceived to be good head
G
C

Now Eve and her husband
Bm
Am

are perverted in their judgment
G
C

'cause everything appears
Bm
Am

to be the same
G
C

They entertain suggestion,
Bm
Am

Next time just use protection
G
C

Desiring
Bm
Am

to cover up their shame
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
Am

Destroying the original agenda
Verse 4
G
C

Praying to the sky,
Bm
Am

in order to maintain a lie
G
C

They exhausted every possible
Bm
Am

conclusion
G
C

They can't even entertain
Bm
Am

the solution
G
C

In a brain filled with vain information
Bm
Am

and pollution
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
Am

Refusing to acknowledge what he done
Verse 5
G
C

Now if we can agree
Bm
Am

with who created us to be
G
C

Who says we're guilty everyone
Bm
Am

before his eyes
G
C

Making no exceptions,
Bm
Am

since the day of our conception
G
C

Predisposed to hating truth,
Bm
Am

and loving lies
Chorus 2
G
C

Then can you tell me, what,
Bm
Am

what we gonna do now
G
C

Where we gonna go now,
Bm
Am

what we gonna say now
G
C

Then can you tell me, what,
Bm
Am

what we gonna do now
G
C

Where we gonna go now,
Bm
Am

what we gonna say now
Bridge 1
Em

Stop walking in pride,
Am

let the thief be crucified
Bm

Unlearn everything you know,
Am

and let him teach you
Em

Line upon line,
Am

every step upon pre-step
Bm

Say goodbye
Am

to this decaying social system
Em

He wants to know,
Am

how far we're willing to go
Bm

If we love him like we say we do
Am

He will try us
Em

Just don't regress
Am

Or slip into hopelessness
Bm

Once he's satisfied his love,
Am

He won't deny us
Chorus 3
G
C

And then He'll tell us, what,
Bm
Am

what we gonna do now
G
C

Where we gonna go now,
Bm
Am

what we gonna say now
G
C

And then He'll tell us, what,
Bm
Am

what we gonna do now
G
C

Where we gonna go now,
Bm
Am

what we gonna say now

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
