Story behind the song
Is it knowledge that's dangerous or how it is used? A take on the Adam&Eve or Pandora's Box conundrum based on what is apparentley a Dublin saying It wasn't the apple above, it was the pair (pear) below' or 'it wasn't the apple but the pair that ate it'...
Lyrics
AE 04 Dont blame the apple DAEA DAECG AA Dont blame the apple Just blame the pair No praise for innocence In the unaware How you use your knowledge Can elate or a scare Don't blame the apple Just blame the pair EAEA EABE Uncle Albert had some great ideas He had this way of seeing a problem clear So they tested it out to see if he was right Well the bang they made was rather loud Sending up that mushroom cloud But its hardly his fault if they set the world alight Cousin Tim now was another clever guy He really had a visionary eye Now we all keep in touch without a glitch or bump But the echo chambers a dangerous thing Social media makes those alarm bells ring But its not his fault if some troll gives you the hump DAEA DACG CGE Some say ignorance is bliss But I tend to disagree I think they just take the piss For it would all end dismally There's so much that we'd all miss If so blinkered we should be You'd have to be brave To live in a cave Like a naked chimpanzee Brother Jesus taught that love should be enough Peace and understanding, all that hippy stuff Yet some folks put down others in his name Thereve been plenty of wars in the name of peace Having god on your side can release the beast Still it's hardly fair to give the guy the blame.
