Well we can talk about the holy mountain
And dream about the golden shore
But most sins ain't that original, friend
They've all been done before
It's only fear that keeps us righteous
And the righteousness makes us mean
You might wade in the water but you don't come clean
I said, Adam was just a man, yes he was
The serpent was just a snake
I ain't worried 'bout the fire and brimstone
I already had more than I can take
Adam was just a man
Ain't no heaven and hell, let me tell ya
We reap the fruits of what we sow
So well, sow well, sow well
And we can talk about our good intentions
Every vow that we're gonna take
We can write down our own commandments
And underline the ones we'll break
We want others to forgive us
Although we judge 'em every day of the week
And then we wonder why they don't turn the other cheek
I said, Adam was just a man, yes he was
The serpent was just a snake, that's right
I ain't worried 'bout the fire and brimstone
I already had more than I can take
I said, Adam was just a man
Ain't no heaven and hell
Yeah, we reap the fruits of what we sow
So well, sow well, sow well
And we kneel and beg for help
For every guilty feeling felt
We're at the mercy of our pain
And every one of us feels the same
We're so scared to be alone
We bow down to wood and stone
Yeah, we listen to the preacher, but the preacher don't know, no
I ain't saying there's no redemption
And nothing is carved in stone
There ain't no heroes, there ain't no saviours
We're all here on our own
Let me tell you now
Adam was just a man, yes he was
The serpent was just a snake, yeah yeah
I ain't worried 'bout the fire and brimstone
I've already had more than I can take
Adam was just a man, yes he was
Ain't no heaven and hell (ain't no heaven)
Yeah we reap the fruits of what we sow
So well, sow well, sow well
So well, sow well, sow well
So well, sow well, sow well
And dream about the golden shore
But most sins ain't that original, friend
They've all been done before
It's only fear that keeps us righteous
And the righteousness makes us mean
You might wade in the water but you don't come clean
I said, Adam was just a man, yes he was
The serpent was just a snake
I ain't worried 'bout the fire and brimstone
I already had more than I can take
Adam was just a man
Ain't no heaven and hell, let me tell ya
We reap the fruits of what we sow
So well, sow well, sow well
And we can talk about our good intentions
Every vow that we're gonna take
We can write down our own commandments
And underline the ones we'll break
We want others to forgive us
Although we judge 'em every day of the week
And then we wonder why they don't turn the other cheek
I said, Adam was just a man, yes he was
The serpent was just a snake, that's right
I ain't worried 'bout the fire and brimstone
I already had more than I can take
I said, Adam was just a man
Ain't no heaven and hell
Yeah, we reap the fruits of what we sow
So well, sow well, sow well
And we kneel and beg for help
For every guilty feeling felt
We're at the mercy of our pain
And every one of us feels the same
We're so scared to be alone
We bow down to wood and stone
