Raising Cain

One always sees a familiar face
At every international place
So many believe
That Adam & Eve
Were Mum & Dad to the whole human race

Well, now you know that the good guy was slain
By none other than his own brother, Cain
The Good and the Bad
Are like siblings clad
And that's enough to drive parents insane!
