No evolution Sometimes it depresses me The same old same Oh we keep repeating history The institution curses curiosity It´s our conviction Sex is not the enemy A revolution is the solution I won´t feel guilty No matter what they´re telling me I won´t feel dirty and buy into their misery I won´t be shamed cause I believe that love is free It fuels the heart and sex is not my enemy A revolution is the solution True love is like gold There´s not enough to go around But then there´s god and doesn´t god love everyone? Give me a choice Give me a chance to turn the key and find my voice Sex is not the enemy A revolution is the solution Sex is not the enemy
