SERPENT SONG
Enter The Serpent
Who?
You do want to know
Right from Wrong
don’t you?
You do want to moralize
and feel superior?
God does
doesn’t He?
He must
and don’t you too?
Well there’s this here fruit
of this here tree
the tree of knowledge
won’t that make you free?
the knowledge of Good and Evil
Wouldn’t you like that?
The first bite’s free

Right from Wrong

Well there’s this here fruit
of this here tree
the tree of knowledge
won’t that make you free?
the knowledge of Good and Evil
Wouldn’t you like that?
The first bite’s free
