Sexual Revolution Lyrics
time to be free amongst yourselves
your mama told you to be discreet
and keep your freak to yourself
but your mama lied to you all this time
she knows as well as you and I
you've got to express what is taboo in you
and share your freak with the rest of us
cause it's a beautiful thang
time to be free amongst yourselves
your mama told you to be discreet
and keep your freak to yourself
but your mama lied to you all this time
she knows as well as you and I
you've got to express what is taboo in you
and share your freak with the rest of us
cause it's a beautiful thang
every rule every constriction
my papa told me to be home by now
but my party has just begun
maybe he'll understand
that I got to be
to be the freak that god made me
so many thangz I want to try
got to do them before I die
especially when I take my clothes off
I'm so funkin' beautiful
especially when I take my clothes off
got to do them before I die
this is such a great song. why no comments?
This song speaks so well for itself, there's little poetry for re-interpretation. Personal meaning, maybe, but the message is pretty clear.
I like that the song is about sexual liberty, but it is presented in a playful and exploratory way, not some drunken-lust-fest. This is creative, loving and calculated debauch, not just random animal hedonism, or some attempt to "be cool" by making bold sexual statements.
The adventure of a self-proclaimed freak. She's different and she knows it. She also wants _everyone to know that they are freaks, too, in the sense that we all bring something unique to the world around us and we should never forget that! Rather, we should elevate and celebrate it, never hide it away from fear of traditions or taboos rapidly diminishing in relevance among human cultures. There's love in this song of life that is not spelled out, but still felt.
Of course, that's alot more thought than this song needs. It reminds us not to be ashamed of our individual expression of sexuality and not to be cowed by mainstream opinions.
Celebrate life and joy of being a sexually-reproducing critter on planet Earth. go Macy!
Erm... isn't she actually bashing the sexual revolution??
I'm so funkin' beautiful especially when I take my clothes off
Know yourself, love yourself and be yourself.
