Original Sin
If you gave a man a choice to worship
He’d take Judas over Mary
Because Mary was a little girl, didn’t know what she was doing
When she had the choice to have her son
And he would save humanity
Maybe women just aren’t human,
Original sin, how it clings to me
Growing over my womb. But in a womb was Jesus
The man known for his Father
But Mary was the one who’s blood He came wearing to the world
Oh bless the Lord he is our father,
Bless the Lord he is our king
Bless the men of the disciples, forget the women who helped them in
Cast their names out from the bible,
Cast the devils from Magdalene
And turn her to a whore, she’s clothed in original sin
If I could go back in time, I’d take the hand of Eve
And offer her a better plan, a better man than he
I’d warn her from the apple, tell her that I’ll love her still
Because men blamed Eve for their sin, original sin, it’s all their sin.
I want to kiss the girl I love in church,
And sing the songs of Mary. I want
My preacher to be a woman, and my choir full of love,
Women are only saints after the brutal men of violence
But my girls have enough halos to bring Gabriel to shame.
If you gave a man a choice of worship,
He’d take Judas over Mary,
But I’ll take Mary, mother, Magdalene, Eve, Phoebe too.
Pilate’s wife and all the saints, suffered under Adam’s sons,
I’ll take them, I’ll take them too,
And I’ll take the original sin from you.
