Adam 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 Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem Realizing that there's no place else to go and there's nobody I know who can help me/Textbook solutions are so improbable 'cause everybody else is just as empty/Naked as the day that I was born, I try to hide behind education and philosophy/Hopeless explanation, to describe a situation/I can't see because the world's on top of me/Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from the body of this death/Freeing me from dust and the superficial trust of an enemy that seeks to take my breath/Failing to connect 'cause I'm morally defect by reason of the god inside my head, causing me to see only what pertains to me, believing I'm alive when I'm still dead/Limited to earth, unable to find out my worth 'cause I can't see past my own vanity/If I'm not included then I just have to remove it from my mind because it has to be insanity Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from the body of this death/Can I even factor that I've only been an actor in the staged interpretation of this day/Focused on the shadow with my back turned to the light, too intelligent to see it's me in the way/What a paradox, having God trapped in a box/All this time professing to be spiritual, naturally pretending that I'm actually defending God, thru my façade, only material Oh Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved from thy deception/How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee/Oh Jerusalem, keeping thee from perfection/Submit to truth, leave the deception of thy youth so we can walk in the council of authority/Forget the proof, a generation so aloof, only following the steps of the majority/Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not to thine own understanding/in all thy ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths/Be not wise in thine own eyes or You can't follow Him/we judge and condemn, just as ignorant as them who religion tells us that we should ignore/Perpetrating, we're in covenant with Him, exposed by the very things that we adore/We grin and shake hands then lay ambush for the man who has a different point of view than us/Infuriated 'cause he doesn't understand, bringing up those things we don't want to discuss/Wise to do evil, we don't know how to do good/Walking on in darkness, running from the light/Led to believe because we live in neighborhoods, telling us what's going on will be alright Oh so repressed, so convinced that I was blessed when I played with my game of monopoly/oh to suggest, that my life is still a mess would reveal the pride I'm hiding is what's stopping me/Oh Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness that thou mayest be saved from thy deception/How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee, Oh Jerusalem, keeping them from perfection/Abide in me, and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except in the vine/I am the vine, ye are the branches/he that live in me, and I in Him the same bring forth much fruit/For without me you can do nothing, Oh Jerusalem/Your traditions have deceived you/I've chosen you, you haven't chosen me/that whatsoever you ask in my name He may give to you/But in vain they call my name, teaching doctrines just the same, justified amongst themselves/But God knoweth the heart/What man esteems as smart is an abomination to Emmanuel/Just repent, turn from selfish motivation so iniquity will not cause your demise/Make you a new heart and a new spirit for why will ye die?/Oh Jerusalem, please tell me why?/I have no pleasure in the death of Him that dieth, says the Lord God wherefore turn yourselves and live/It's not the talkers, but the walkers in His word/Are the only ones the Father will forgive/Oh Jerusalem, wash thine heart from from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved from thy deception/How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee, Oh Jerusalem/Providing you no protection, Oh Jerusalem Oh.. ya.. oh.. Jerusalem oh.. ya.. oh Everybody knows that they're guilty, everybody knows that they've lied/Everybody knows that they're guilty, yes resting on their conscience, eating their insides. It's freedom, said it's freedom time now, It's freedom, said it's freedom time now. Time to get free, oh give yourselves up now, it's freedom, said it's freedom time There's a war in the mind over territory for the dominion/Who will dominate the opinion, schisms and -isms/Keeping us in forms of religion, conforming our vision to the world church's decision/Trapped in a section, submitted to committee election/Moral infection, epidemic lies and deception/Insurrection of the highest possible order/Distorting our tape recorders from hearing like under water/Beyond the borders fond of sin and disorder, bound by the strategy of systemic depravity/Heavy as gravity, head-first in the cavity without a bottom/A fate worse than Sodom/What's got 'em drunk off the spirits, truth comes we can't hear it 'when you've been programmed to fear it/I had a vision I was falling in indecision, appalling, calling religion some program on television/How could dominant wisdom be recognized in a system of antichrists and majority rules/Intelligent fools/PhDs in illusion, masters of mass confusion, bachelors of past delusion/Now who you choosin, the head or the tail/The bloodshed of the male, or confidence in the veil/Conferences at Yale discussing doctrines of Baal, causing people to fail, keeping the third in jail/His word has nailed everything to the tree, severing all of me from all that I used to be/Formless and void, totally paranoid, enjoyed darkness as/Lord keeping me from the sword, I was blocked from mercy, bitter than cerasee/hungry and thirsty for good meat we would eat and still dine at the table of deceit/How incomplete/From confrontation to retreat, we prolonged the true enemies' defeat/Destitute of necessity /Causing desperation to get the best of me/Punishment till there was nothing left of me, realizing the unescapable death of me/No options in the valley of decision/The only doctrine supernatural circumcision/Inwardly only water can purge the heart from words/The fiery darts thrown by the workers of the arts/Iniquity, shapen in, there's no escaping when your whole philosophy is paper thin/In vanity, the wide road is insanity/Could it be all of humanity? Picture that/Scripture that! The origin of man's heart is black/How can we show up for an invisible war/Preoccupied with a shadow, making love with a whore, aching in sores/Babylon the great mystery, mother of human history, system of social sorcery/Our present condition needs serious recognition/Where there's no repentence there can be no remission, and that sentence more serious than Vietnam, the atom bomb, and Saddam, and Minister Farrakhan/What's going on? What's a priority to you? By what authority do we do/The majority hasn't a clue/We've majored in curses, search the chapters, check the verses, recapture the land, remove the mark from off our hands, so we can stand in agreement with His command/Everything else is damned, let them with ears understand. Everything else is damned, let them with ears understand… It's freedom, said it's freedom time now, It's freedom, said it's freedom time now. It's freedom, I'm a be who I am, it's freedom time, said it's freedom time Everybody knows that they've lied, Everybody knows they've perpetrated inside Everybody knows that they're guilty yes, resting on their conscience, eating their insides.
Get free, be who your supposed to be, freedom, said it's freedom time now, freedom, said it's freedom time, freedom, freedom time.
I find it hard to say that everything is alright/Don't look at me that way, like everything is alright, 'cause my own eyes can see through all your false pretenses/But what you fail to see is all the consequences/You think our lives are cheap and easy to be wasted/As history repeats, so foul that you can taste it/And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it/His life so incomplete, and nothing can replace it And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it/Your lives so incomplete, and nothing can replace it. Fret not thyself, I say. against these laws of man/'Cause like the Bible says, His blood is on their hands And what I gotta say
And what I gotta say
is REBEL

Are you satified REBEL oh REBEL Why don't you rebel, why don't you rebel, why don't you rebel Moving down the streams of my lifetime, pools of fascination in my sleep/Cooling off the fire of my longing, warming up my cold within His heat/Melting down the walls of inhibition, evaporating all of my fears/Baptizing me into complete submission, dissolving my condition with His tears It's just like the water I ain't felt this way in years It's just like the water, the water I ain't felt this way in years. Coursing through my senses He's prevailing, floating through the space of my design/Drowning me, I find my insides sailing, drinking in the mainstream of His mind/Filling up the cup of my emotions, spilling over into all I do/If only I could get lost in His ocean, surviving on the thought of loving You it's just like the water I ain't felt this way in years It's just like the water I ain't felt this way in years Bathing in the fountain of His essence, He causes my expression to remain, humbled on the mountain by His presence, washing my intentions with His name/Sealing off the floodgates of His passion/Saving all His liquid for His own/Moisturizing me to satisfaction, in my imagination all alone/He's pouring out His soul to me for hours/Drawing out my nature with His hands/Yearning, I'm so thirsty for His power, burning to be worthy of His land It's just like the water I ain't felt this way in years It's just like the water I aint felt this way in years cleaning me, He's purging me, and moving me around He's bathing me, and he's cleaning me, and moving me around, around and around, and around, and around washing me, cleaning me, moving me around, he's purging me, he's been cleaning me and moving me around and around, around, around and moving me around I just want you around I just want you around I just want you around I just want you around When I thought that I had lost you, I could hardly make a sound When I thought I couldn't hold you, I knew the world had let me down/Should've took the time and told you, you keep my feet on the ground/I hope that you can hear me, 'cause I know it's not profound I just want you around I just need you around When I thought I was without you, I got used to being down it was my fault I used to doubt you, but that ain't me next time around/Please believe me when I tell you, 'cause all my words are bound/This is my cross now let me bear it/I was lost but now I've found, found, found I just want you around I just need you around I just want you around I just need you around Took this love for granted, kept my feelings underground/Should've watered what I planted, should've known what I had found/I'm not used to being lonely, I don't like the way it sounds/You're the only one I know yeah, who don't turn my up side down I just want you around I just need you around I just want you around I just need you around I just want you around I just need you around I just want you around I just need you around I just want you around, I just want you around, I just need you around, I just want my man around, I just want you around, I just need you around, I just want you around, I just want you around, I just want you around, I just want you around, just want you around I gotta find peace of mind, I gotta find peace of mind He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible He say's it's impossible, but I know its possible/He says there's no me without him/Please help me forget about him/He takes all my energy, trapped in my memory, constantly holding me, constantly holding me/I need to tell you all, all the pain he's caused, I need to tell you I'm, I'm undone because he led me away from love to be the victim of his web of confusing lies right there before my eyes.
