Eve's song

Eve was a sweet girl </n> She’d dance through the summer light </n> Put food out for the rabbits and sleep soundly through the night </n> She was sharp and clever and that would her downfall be </n> Because one day she gave in to her curiosity

And now the deed is done </n> It isn’t an excuse that </n> Eve was young </n> She ate from the forbidden fruit </n> Now Cause of her all hell is loose </n> And we are wrong </n>

It makes no difference if you ate the poison just </n> Cause you were starving or dying from lust </n> If you act on your nature, you’re a monster </n> You’re unnatural </n> If you dare be a person,you must suffer </n> You must go to hell </n> If you give in to impulse,you are lawless </n> You’re just an animal </n>

No there’s no excuse for picking </n> An apple from a tree</n> No excuse for thinking</n> That you were ever free</n> No, sorry, dear you’ve given </n> In to debauchery</n>

And now you are a sinner and a liability</n>

The deed is done…</n>

But since I’m already evil</n> As a heathen</n> Let me tell you how I’m feeling</n> You should not be angry at your child </n> Just cause you didn’t raise it right</n> Just because it’s human </n> Just like you and just like me</n> Everything about god is just implausible, you see!</n>

And what says that of god if we’re created in his image</n> But can’t even behave in line with his man-written limits?</n> Is that our fault, or does the story not make sense </n> Either God is faulty, too, or his power is pretence .</n>

I guess the deed is done…</n>

But this story you believe in</n> It’s diseasing</n> My body and my soul</n> You want me to feel guilt for things</n> I cannot control</n> You’re acting like I am this way because I chose to be</n> But you say that I was made</n> By someone who, supposedly,</n> Is just like me but better</n> And so I’m supposed to be</n> Everything but myself</n> Lest I want to go to hell</n>

But I’ll sleep with half the world</n> If I feel so inclined</n> And it’ll be the female half</n> If that brings me joy</n>

And if I have a baby I won’t be expecting gifts</n> Now go tell all your shepherds that I am a witch, because</n>

Dear your religion is misogyny</n> No one can tell me how I ought to be</n> I believe in love, and I trust in the truth</n> But I cannot believe in something so impure as you</n>
