Letra da Música Adam Lives In Theory Lauryn Hill

Adam Lives In TheoryAdam lives in theory trying to turn stone into bread, masquerading like he's got it figured out
Cut off from the sunshine only smart in his own head
Leaving his descendents to hope in doubt
Left to his devices, those worthless sacrifices, praying to the altar of his self
Making pilgrimages thinking he's religious, like he's got all the light and no one else
He takes the unsuspected 'cause he knows they're not connected, and he shows them how to be just as he is
Virtually real and commercially appeal to the lust of all the people where he lives
Eve was so naïve, blinded by the pride and greed, wanting to be intellectual
Drifting from the way she got turned out one day and now she thinks that she's bisexual
Caught up in emotion, burning up in her devotion to the king of exploitation in the field
She handed him her virtue, 'cause he told her 'I won't hurt you,' so she laid 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 infection home into her bed
Quickly multiplying, now the three of them are dying by the poison she perceived to be good head
Now Eve and her husband are perverted in their judgment 'cause everything appeared to be the same
They entertained suggestions,'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 adulterous, 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'd done
Now, if we can't agree with who created us to be who says we're guilty everyone before his eyes
Making no exception 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, unlearn everything you know and let Him teach you
Line upon line and precept upon precept
Say goodbye to this decaying social system
He wants to know how far we're willing to go, if we love Him like we say we do, He'll try us
Just you don't regress or slip into hopelessness
Once He's satisfied it's 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…
He'll tell us what, what we gonna do now, where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now…
