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?
