Temptation

(Genesis 3:1-8)
parody of Temptation written and performed by the Tea Party

If I touch this tree I’ll die
I’ll watch what I eat
Snake he asks her let’s make bold
Become good as gold

Temptation
Temptation
Nonsense you will be a sage
One taste all it takes
Genesis you see we’re told
Eve lost all control

Temptation
Eve let it get her down
Temptation
One bite and she found

They exist in a world without fear
But this serpent will steal
Adam sits by her side, takes a bite
Nakedness was revealed
Now they hide, He can see, as they flee
From the God they can’t see
They can’t see Him, they can’t see Him, they can’t see

Questioned could they take this food
Caught up in the lie
Snake’s laughing as his lies take hold
They’ve lost all control

Temptation
They let it get them down
Temptation
One bite and they’re found
Temptation
To understand the soul
Temptation
They’ve lost all control
