[Hook]
Sex, sex, sex, sex (yeah)
Sex, sex, sex (la-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex (yeah)
Sex, sex, sex (la-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Verse 1]
Nothing is provocative anymore, even for kids
No room for imagining, 'cause everyone's seen everything
[Pre-Chorus]
Question what the TV tells you (la-da-da)
Question what a pop star sells you (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Question mom and question dad (la-da-da)
Question good and question bad (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Chorus]
If history could set you free (from who you were supposed to be)
If sex in our society (didn't tell a girl who she would be)
'Cause all my life I've tried to fight what history has given me, me
[Hook]
Sex, sex, sex, sex (yeah)
Sex, sex, sex (la-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Verse 2]
If women were religiously recognized sexually
We wouldn't have to feel the need to show our ass-ets to feel free
[Pre-Chorus]
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt (la-da-da)
Sold my soul, and yeah, the truth hurt (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Tired image of a star (la-da-da)
Acting naughtier than we really are (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Chorus]
If history could set you free (from who you were supposed to be)
If sex in our society (didn't tell a guy who he should be)
'Cause all my life I've tried to fight what history has given me, me
[Hook]
Sex, sex, sex, sex (yeah)
Sex, sex, sex (la-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex (yeah)
Sex, sex, sex (la-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Bridge]
All my life I've felt it deep inside of me
All this time was fighting for what I believe
All my life I've tried to hide what history has given me, me
[Chorus]
If history could set you free (from who you were supposed to be)
If sex in our society (didn't tell a guy who he should be)
'Cause all my life I've tried to fight what history has given me, me
[Hook]
Sex, sex, sex, sex (yeah)
Sex, sex, sex (la-da-da)
