Perversion Songtext
von Stereolab

In our Christian society
There′s something wrong with having pleasure
Pleasure more precisely is called sin
Therefore, our well-thinking citizens
Have decided it was best to hide, deny pleasures, such as sex, drugs
Out of the repression of pleasure


Something logically same into the light
Something much graver than sex, drugs
Perversion could only entail regression
Of a civilization that would avoid mastering anxiety
That could least the truth
Corrupt behavior
