THEY SAID NOT TO BITE THE APPLE,
BUT I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK
THEY SAID I BIT A SILVER SPOON
BUT I THINK I BIT A FORK
THEY THOUGHT MY BITE WAS BAD
BUT THEY DIDN'T HEAR MY BARK
THEY SAID TO BITE THE ICE
BUT INSTEAD I ATE MY HEART
THEY SAID TO BITE THE DUST
BUT I CAME CLEAN LONG AGO
THEY SAID TO BITE THE BULLET
BUT THE POWDER WOULDN'T BLOW
THEY SAID I BIT OFF MORE
THAN I COULD CHEW BUT I SAID NAY
THEY SAID TO BITE MY TONGUE
I SAID I HAD A LOT TO SAY.
---------
THEY SAID NOT TO BITE THE APPLE,
BUT I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK
THEY SAID I BIT A SILVER SPOON
BUT I THINK I BIT A FORK
THEY THOUGHT MY BITE WAS BAD
BUT THEY DIDN'T HEAR MY BARK
THEY SAID TO BITE THE ICE
SO I DANCED THERE IN THE DARK
THEY SAID TO BITE THE DUST
BUT I CAME CLEAN LONG AGO
THEY SAID TO BITE THE BULLET
BUT THE POWDER WOULDN'T BLOW
THEY SAID I BIT OFF MORE
THAN I COULD CHEW BUT THEY WERE WRONG
THEY SAID TO BITE MY TONGUE
AND SO I WROTE THIS BLOODY SONG.
