Songtexte Adam Raised A Cain - Live - Bruce Springsteen

One, two, three, four

The summer that I was baptized
My father held me to his side
As they put me to the water
He said how on that day I cried

We were prisoners of love
A love in chains
He was standing in the door
I was standing in the rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins

Adam raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)

All of the old faces
Ask you why you're back
They fit you with position
And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac

In the darkness of your room
Your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces, the places, the names
You know it's never over
It's relentless as the rain

Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Woah

In the Bible, mamma, Cain slew Abel
East of Eden, mamma, he was cast
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 haunts these empty rooms
Looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins
You inherit the flame

Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)

Lost but not forgotten
From the dark heart of a dream
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)
Raised a Cain (yeah)

Adam raised a Cain
Adam raised a Cain
Adam raised a Cain
Adam raised a Cain

(Whoa) Say
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa) Yeah
(Whoa)
(Whoa) Yeah
(Whoa) Yeah
Woah-ha-ha (whoa)
Alright
