Eating Nothing but the Forbidden Fruit
Whatever I get I'm never fully satisfied,
American labor is paid for and patternized...
Saved your catcher's ryes whose bahavior is satirized,
It's old greed to slow feed when the latest batch arrives...
Do you really think we've suffered the worst?
...Still paying pittance dues from one forbidden fruit's curse...
And if it's all for nought, why not eat what we've got?
Nothing but what we shouldn't that wouldn't have been sought
In the first place if the Earth preys on our temptation;
I'll make it every meal if it lets me feel a sensation...
The hunger is calling for the caress of the flesh,
I want to choose the younger fruits and give up on the test;
The chaliced cup isn't blessed, it's just pre-nuptial stress,
To take forbidden tours of bed-ridden whores fuckin' a guest...
Every time I get the girl I throw her away---
"Well, it's up to you..."
""Slut, we're through!"
Now I don't know her today.
Like a river boa with prey,
I catch and release...
If it tastes bad I'll take a stab
At the next batch that I seize...
The steady diet I've followed,
The forced-fed lie that I've swallowed;
Will my God be the one that's awed if he's arrivin' tomorrow?
Earth's supply isn't borrowed, we take seas, land and stone...
Metals, oils and settled soils;
...The Cheese Stands Alone...
From each stranded cone of our retina's vision,
For all we have we'd rather be mad for what ended up missin'...
I suppose it's human nature to be selfish,
I felt lips but chose to consume the flavor of Hell's Kiss...
Tell this to Judah's saviour and say you failed him,
And mailed whim to Buddha's chamber to assail sin...
In a tail spin now who's the danger that didn't root,
Fear-stricken few knew that in the manger lies...
...The Forbidden Fruit...
