lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Takes a pluck from the tree of knowledge, ignorance is bliss
Takes a bite from the red apple, she really can't resist
The temptation, hisses of a snake in her brain
Brings the man down with her, hide their faces in shame
Keep their bodies covered, banished from the garden forever
But knowledge is power, so what was wrong with their endeavor
And why did God dangle something so powerful right in front of their faces
Before it all makes sense
You're telling me to

[Chorus 2]
(Slow Down) You're telling me to
(Slow Down) You really said to
(Slow Down) Like I'm really going to
(Slow Down) But I'm not going to
(Slow Down) No I'm not going to
(Slow Down) Fuck if I'm going to
(Slow Down) I'm never going to
(Slow Down)

Beg your pardon
less a blaspheme, more of a bargain
A new age is startin'
Mixing Jesus Christ and Charles Darwin

[Verse 2]
Brand new apple, brand new God
So exhaulted is he, by the name of Steve Jobs
He provides us withour forbidden fruit
Instead of just denying us once its been introduced
And all we have to do is give our soul to these companies
They give us money, we buy it, then show it off publicly
New phones, computers, and lives, falling in love with these
An apple from a tree of knowledge covered in money leaves
I want you to covet me, so I'll just flash this product right in front of your face bitch
I know it don't make sense
That's why we've gotta

[Chorus 2]
(Go Now) That's why we gotta
(Go Now) I think its time to
(Go Now) I guess we gotta
(Go Now) But where we gonna
(Go Now) Where are we gonna
(Go Now) Where can we really
(Go Now) Is there anywhere to
(Go Now)

Beg your pardon
We can just head back into the garden
A new age is startin'
Mixing Jesus Christ and Charles Darwin

[Verse 3]
Less of a blaspheme more of a bargain
A message that'll be copied like I'm writing it on carbon
Passion so strong if I say one word you don't want to hear, you attack with the fury of a spartan
'Cause you don't really want to hear the truth, whether religious or consumer
You live your life by bible or live it by the computer
If the truth doesn't agree with your sensibilities, it cannot exist in this world
No matter who it helps
It could be the last hope that we have for making peace and saving our nation
But if it all makes sense, its got to be
Crazy (crazy)
Evil (evil)
Lame (lame)
Or lethal (lethal)
"Good intentions, so deceitful"
These are thoughts that come from the people
That are weak-minded and feeble
Wall Street steeple, Apple store cathedral
Fuck what that equals, the Blue Hour's startin'
Its like a mix of Jesus Christ and Charles Darwin
Beg your pardon
Less a blaspheme more of a bargain
A new age departin'
Now we're headed back into the garden

[Chorus 3]
(Slow Down) And now its time to (X12)

[Verse 4]
Get your ass up
Join the Bass and Treble bastards
Representing newness, no you shouldn't have to ask us
Don't know why you would anyway, I ain't got the answers
And you'd just write them off that they rot your body like a cancer
You see the world in black and white like Klan vs. Panthers
No room for in-betweens, too dirty to ever clean
So when I introduce new thoughts the likes of which you've never seen
You get offended, now I'm your enemy, and you reflect this heavily
'Cause no one wants to be proven wrong
But the ego can't distinguish between what does or doesn't belong
It's like a filter, what's to big or doesn't agree with your beliefs
Will have you jumping out your seats, claim that I know not what I speak
That the devil's inside of me while you live in your harmony
I'm the villain, I am Lillith, the serpent that tempted Eve
But you're different, you won't fall victim to that delicious treat
Called Knowledge in the form of vapor, liquid, or a solid
But whether your sanctuary's a store or chapel
Really you are Eve and this song is the Apple
And really I am God in the context of the legend
Don't take that the wrong way, 'cause I'm just trying to send a message
I really doubt they were punished by being cast out of Eden
Don't think they were punished at all, despite what you may believe in
Bet it was all a test
To see if they'd obtain the knowledge of their own accord instead of just asking what's next
And then with the knowledge of knowing how to create a civilization, the lord almighty then sent them on a quest
To spread the human race and teach them to seek knowledge, be honest and open-minded, never consider yourself the best and stay modest
I don't expect you to truly believe my words and just go
Not the way you believe in the ancient writings of men you don't know
And if you don't even believe in God, I probably lost you from the start
But this applies to you as well, I guess I might as well show
We all have things that we believe in without evidence
But without an open mind, we're all slave to the elements
Shouldn't just write off different ideals all for the hell of it
Or sweep it under the rug, if its not completely relevant
Nah man, that's what the serpent teaches ya in the form of mainstream media
Yes indeed, its a fiend that believes its a beacon feeding ya
Words from encyclopedias
Effects are immediate
Schizophrenia
Mental Leukemia
Always deceiving ya
Quick to make you feel unworthy in presence of pure cowards
Consider this a cleansing, its a new shower
Got lemon-faced haters looking too sour
'Cause they can see up close that this is true power
The Blue Hour

[Outro]
We shine
We shine
We shine
'Cause its the Blue Hour (X2)
