Lyrics

Adam owned a nice quiet home out in the hills
That he traded in for knowledge and taxes and bills
And the gift of pure freewill left him humbled and poor
Now nobody lives in Eden anymore

His biographers would blame the great eviction on his wife
And they said he'd have to pay for the rest of his life
With brother leading brother to the killing floor
Cause nobody lives in Eden anymore

His people were scattered like sand into the wind
Carrying the burden of someone else's sins
Now they don't speak to one another except through holy wars
And nobody lives in Eden anymore

Nobody lives way out there in Eden
They gave up on the promises of dumb, easy living
The fruit's turned bitter and the nightlife's a bore
And nobody lives in Eden anymore

Yeah, no one's ashamed to say they're a winner
Or afraid to take a snake out to dinner
They've eaten that apple right down to the core
And nobody lives in Eden anymore

It's no longer safe to walk the streets at night
Or in some parts of town in the broad daylight
We'll just wall it up and move on like before
Cause nobody lives in Eden anymore

I've been lost so long I don't know where I am
Walking around this desert like a broken man
From the shopping malls to military bases
I can see how we're still running in the young ones faces

Frightened and forgotten and driven from their home
Dull and desperate and destined to roam
'Til we're sleeping in the great warm hands of the Lord
Cause nobody lives in Eden anymore

I said hey
Help me Lord, help me Lord, help me Lord
Nuke it for morbid, baby
