lyrics

So there’s this lovely wedding gift from Zeus
And Prometheus (your brother-in-law) says, “Leave it alone.”
But being the curious person that you are
You sneak a peek inside the jar
And accidentally
You set all worldly evils free

And then after all the plagues have flown
Everyone blames you instead of Zeus
Thinking that you somehow should have known
Knowing you were meant to set them loose

Oh Pandora
Can’t you see the humor of it all?
Oh Pandora, they made you,
and then they made you take the fall
Oh Pandora
Oh Pandora

Your story was revamped much later on
They added talking snakes in trees (yeah I don’t get that either)
The overarching gist is still the same
Because the woman gets the blame
And we’re ostensibly
Still paying off her penalty

And after you’re evicted from the garden
Some people never see things as they are
Such thoughtlessness could cause a heart to harden
and make you want to smash Pandora’s jar

Oh Pandora
Can’t you see the humor of it all?
Oh Pandora, they made you,
and then they made you take the fall
Oh Pandora
Oh Pandora

And now the Golden Age is done
The Silver Age has just begun
And now that bell can’t be un-rung
I guess that’s just the way it goes
Those stories everybody knows
The jar is open and the garden closed

Oh Pandora
Can’t you see the humor of it all?
Oh Pandora, they made you,
and then they made you take the fall
Oh Pandora
Oh Pandora
