I don't think the second half of the song is that hard to interpret..this is one of the most in your face and blatant statements Peter has ever made in a song. I'm pretty sure he's saying exactly what the lyrics say in this part..Adam Raped Eve.
"Woe to thee all women of land, air and sea" - (All women experience woe now OR just simply beware all women of land air and sea..)
"Adam was the serpent, apple between his knees" - (The Serpent in the garden of Eden was not Lucifer/Satan it was Adam. Peter is saying the "apple" is a metaphor for Adam's genitalia hence the "apple between his knees" part)
"Seduced by a snake, worshiped by nations" - (She was seduced by the serpent whom was or shall be worshiped by nations. It's quite obvious that all cultures in the Mediterranean, Babylonian, and Middle Eastern and Northeast African worlds worshiped Men and saw women as beneath men)
"Banished forth from EDEN, it's the male who is Satan" - (They were kicked out of the Garden of Eden and the male is Satan..Eve is not to blame)
"From the tree of knowledge ((A Metaphor for Sex))" - (He's saying that the tree of knowledge that was forbidden is really just a metaphor for sex..not an actual tree)
"Plucked a ripened globe of fruit, that of her innocence" - (He took her virginity, replace apple with "cherry" and you can see where this is going. She was ripe and he "plucked" her fruit.)
"Since forbidden resisted, forcing her to taste" - (Since this sexual act was forbidden she resisted him, but he forced her to do it anyway..against her will.)
"Now I know why girls hate boys, 'cause Eve was in fact raped" - (I think that's as plain as it gets. This is why there's such tension between the sexes and why women are so wounded and in such pain..because Man not only raped Woman but he flipped it and blamed it all on HER like many rapists and juries still do today with the "oh she was asking for it" stuff.)
So there ya go..Peter is interpreting the Adam and Eve story in a very feminist and more realistic light.
