Armor

Let it begin, let Adam in

Step one: original sin

Underneath the leaves, Adam found Eve

Both of them found something sweet under the apple tree

Then it was over, roads divide

Step two: learning how to lie

Let me ask a question to present day

How the hell did Eve end up with all the damn blame?

All the damn blame

To all the dirty looks, the kitty cat calls

To the ones who try and throw us up against the back walls

Let me tell you something you'll understand

Only the little boys tell you they're a big man

To all my sisters and all our friends

We have to thank them, please

Strength means blessed with an enemy

Oh, my, my, my, my armor comes from you

You make me try, try, try, try harder

Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do

Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you

You make me stronger, stronger

Now, hand me my armor

(Hand me my armor, hand me my armor)

Step three: I see

The unforgettable, incredible ones who came before me

Brought poetry, brought science

Sowed quiet seeds of self-reliance

Bloom in me, so here I am

You think I am high and mighty, mister?

Wait 'til you meet my little sister

Oh, my, my, my, my armor comes from you

You make me try, try, try, try harder

Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do

Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you

You make me stronger, stronger

Now, hand me my armor

What you didn't do to bury me

But you didn't know I was a goddamn seed

You don't scare me, I am of the earth

So tired of your empire

Blind men only set the world on fire

Sad you can't see it

You brought the flame, here comes the phoenix

You make me try harder

Oh, it's all I ever do, ever do

Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you

You make me stronger, stronger

Hand me my armor

Oh, my, my, my, my armor comes from you

You make me try, try, try, try harder

Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do

Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you

You make me stronger, stronger

Hand me my armor

(Hand me my armor, hand me my armor)

(Hand me my armor, hand me my armor)

Hand me my armor (Hand me my armor)

Hand me my armor, hand me my armor
