The Moment of Conception Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dubious Merit 

Cover art for The Moment of Conception lyrics by David Byrne

It's "born without a conscience," not "conscious."

I like the quick line "eat the apples, steal the peaches." In the Judeo-Christian mythos Eve got into trouble for eating the apple of knowledge, and in the Chinese mythos Monkey got into trouble for stealing the peaches of immortality.
