they say Eve gave Adam the apple
Adam didnt want it at all
but though Adam was fussy that old Eve was a hussy
she talked him right into the fall
they say Eve gave Adam the apple
the poor man didnt know what for
but as soon as he gave in to her original sin
the Big Boss kicked them out the door
chorus:
o-oh Eve, you got a bum rap, sister
Eve, I think youve been framed
whoever wrote the Bible should be sued for libel
cause since then all your daughters
have been taking the blame
they say wed still be in the garden of Eden
having picnics if it werent for Eve
at least thats what the Pope and the Ayatollah
and guys like that would have you believe
oh but lets take a look at what happened
after paradise was no more
Eve invented agriculture and art
Adam invented war...
...and nuclear technology to threaten our ecology
and sneaky male theology to dictate our biology
I think Adam and his buddies owe us all a big apology
chorus
they say Eve gave Adam the apple
now pardon me if I sound crude
but no matter who they say seduced who that day
Eve was the one who got screwed
chorus
were either whores or witches, madonnas or bitches
Eve, I think weve been framed
enough of this invective, lets have some perspective
its been ten thousand years and were still taking the blame
but Eve weve had enough and things are starting to change
oh Eve were gonna clear your name
