bible stories - lyrics

We’re prone to evil
It says in the Bible
We come from two people
One cut from the other

It was right in the open
When one took an apple
And gave it to the other one
If evil were so simple
Then why is good so complicated?
And, tell me why
Are we so eager to bite
Your bible stories and lies?

God plays a sousaphone
In a heavenly orchestra
We’re given microphones
To ruin the Music
Beliefs aren’t that difficult
They come from good places
But as soon as they’re swallowed whole
They lose what they’re meant to be

You and I are
We’re not so different
You and me,
We’re not that different…
But we’re not the same

So believe in your fairy tales
Your parables and prophets
Some will give you nightmares
The other
Some comfort

When you give it all away
You can go back to sleep
