East Of Eden Lyrics

I'm the first born son of a good family Why wouldn't God would smile upon me? I come from a land of paradise Now I'm living in a world of fire and ice East of Eden East of Eden Now I'm living in a world of fire and ice East of Eden I was my daddy's pride and joy Till along came another boy Baby brother, innocent lamb Baby brother is the reason I'm damned East of Eden East of Eden My brother is the reason they sent me here East of Eden I was the first, why couldn't he see? He stole my father's love from me I couldn't let my brother steal from me So I went downtown, bought me a gun Shot that thief in the noonday sun They sent me away to a lonely place To live the rest of my days in disgrace East of Eden East of Eden I will spend the rest of my days in disgrace East of Eden They called it murder in the first degree There's no room at home for a killer like me I was wrong to spill my own brother's blood But all I ever wanted was my father's love My daddy's love I'm the first born son of a good family A righteous life was waiting for me Born in a land of paradise Condemned to a world of fire and ice East of Eden East of Eden Damned to a world of fire and ice East of Eden
