Adam Raised a Cain

 

“In the Bible Cain slew Abel/and East of Eden he was cast, You’re born into this life paying/ for the sins of somebody else’s past,/Daddy worked his whole life, for nothing but the pain,/Now he walks these empty rooms, looking for something to blame,/You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames, Adam raised a Cain.  Lost but not forgotten, from the dark heart of a dream, Adam raised a Cain.”

— Bruce Springsteen, “Adam Raised a Cain,” from Darkness on the Edge of Town.
