(*Tim O'Brien, Jonathan Byrd) You ate the apple?* I told you not to eat the apple How many times did I tell you? Your friend the Serpent? If he said jump off a cliff Would you jump off a cliff, too? The fruit was poisoned and made you lose your mind When you pa** judgment, you leave paradise behind You see good and evil, everywhere is right and wrong You can't be satisfied and you can't get along You ate the apple I told you not to eat the apple How many times did I tell you? What were you thinking? Didn't you know you had it made Livin' here in the garden? You ate the apple You had to taste forbidden fruit You had to look behind the curtain It used to be simple, you had no fear or shame Now you know too much and it's never gonna be same
Instead of layin' here in the shade you're gonna toil out in the sun I got a whole new set of rules, it used to be just one You ate the apple I told you not to eat the apple How many times did I tell you? Go put some clothes on If you're gonnna try to dress yourself You'll need more than a fig leaf When you have your own kids You can make up your own rules Right now don't cry to me The fruit was poisoned and made you lose your mind When you pa** judgment, you leave paradise behind You see good and evil, everywhere is right and wrong You can't be satisfied and you can't get along You ate the apple? I told you not to eat the apple, how many times did I tell you?
