Sonny Shotz - Life In The Garden of Eden lyrics

rate me

(Interlude)

I should like to help everyone, if possible

Jew, Gentile, Black men, White

We all want to help one another

Human beings are like that

We want to live by each other's happiness

Not by each other's misery

We don't want to hate, to despise one another

In this world, there is room for everyone

And the good earth is rich

And can provide for everyone

The way of life can be free and beautiful

But we have lost the way

(Verse)

You play the gigolo, yep, she played the scarlet

What your daddy didn't know, he messed up by having daughters

That shit cost the fornication and lacking a bit of patience

You're anxious to make a baby, you follow your reputation

Of course, the problem is universal if we all glorify it

Life in the garden of Eden, I wrote a song about it

So dear kids, gather 'round and play this extra loud

And lemme teach you how to make your mommy and your daddy proud

They be promised to be honest, that being said

Ah, marriage isn't sacreretest between the same sex

But, hey, by all means, please be free to be free

You just live outside the garden if you indulge in those deeds

I will not be a victim of the agenda and follow the crowd

I do no stand for gay rights, nah, I stand for God's lot

You see, it's simple, the Garden is a symbol of sex,

In the middle of our bodies, where we tend to neglect

You follow urges and purge the truth without some respect

But the Lord said be fertile, multiply and protect

Take it in, don't you wally wally in, goochy bang bang

Call me Mr. Sunny Money, I'm just tryna make a change

(Interlude)

Our cleverness hard and unkind

We think too much, and feel too little

More than machinery, we need humanity

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness

Without these qualities life will be violent

And all will be lost

(Verse)

Welcome to the garden, the truth is every flower

Sex is very sacred, and I'm your guy

Standing on a mountain, tell me that you climb it

Cause time is of the essence, but it's your life

And I'm writing you this way, cause girl, you need to change

You're moving way too fast, but you deserve a ring

Get married in the spring, I met you in the fall

Lets pray together, babe, we'll stay together, babe

I'm honest, I'll vote in congress for conversation

About this topic. I'm optimistic, I often miss it

But nothing says change like a virgin on her wedding day

(Interlude)

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together

The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men

Cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all

Even now, my voice is reaching millions throughout the world

(Verse)

In the valid of a message are stories I decipher

For chances you been hiding in the dark and I'm your lighter

The man who loves his woman, he make that girl his wife

But the man that loves a man, nah, he ain't living right

Broken glass by her victo, rose petal by her heel

You say dinner went sour after boyfriend did it ill

She was waiting for commitment, he expected something different

Dinner table took the blame and silverware fell to the pavement

They ain't ever hear a brother like this before

I mean, maybe, but they never hear this stuff before

They tryna change my heart, soul brother, just a yungin tryna

Change the charts, yo mother gon' be tellin' you to change the song,

Cause my views on religion can be extra wrong

But she's extra wrong

And they party every Sunday

Curse the Lord every Monday,

Then act-a-fool when it's payday

Spend it all and say "I'm gonna be rich one day"

Then Malique will pro'ly run into some gunplay

Can you worry 'bout this holy stuff that I say?

What's the pro'lem wit ya cameras?

What? You ain't get the picture yet?

Six songs and they all make one

The blueprint for the days to come

(Interlude)

Let us fight to free the world

To do away with national barriers

Do away with greed

With hate and intolerance

Let us fight for a world of reason
