Lyrics
look left, look right
go on and take a bite
from the big apple tree
although they told you not to do
money snake seems too hard to refuse
but i say
don't you bite
or you'll finally find you're naked
don't you bite
or you'll find yourself alone
don't you bite
or you'll finally find you're empty
and without a home
there are no butterflies
there's only worms
in the the big apple tree
it looks so good from the outside
but consequences are too high
don't you bite
or you'll finally find you're naked
don't you bite
or you'll find yourself alone
don't you bite
or you'll finally find you're empty
and without a home
