Lyrics

You call us rotten apples

‘Cause we landed with a thump

You threw us on the compost heap,

fermented, we came back drunk



Eve gave us the eye

We ain’t no providers

Not sweet enough for apple pie

We ended up in cider



We’re rotten apples, rotten to the core

Black sheep of the family too rotten to ignore

We’re rotten apples, rotten to the core

You know you really want us, keep coming back for more



You pulled us to the ground

Just like newton said

“watch where you’re going boys, you bumped me on the head”





Should have never left the orchard, should have stayed up in the tree

Never fallen from the branches but hey, that’s just gravity







We know you got your eye on us, We know you think we’re cute

But here’s the moral of the story, don’t pick low hanging fruit
