Far out over the ocean there was starlight
That brought them too near
Now there are new gods in paradise
And the old ways they live on in the songs of revolution
While all the libertines are praising Jesus in the heartland
Do you do it for pain?
Do you do it for pleasure?
Do you do it for fame?
Will you do it forever?
Would you stick a needle in the eye of love?
Congratulations, you're the cream that's turning sour
In the sunshine that never sets upon the empire
While all these sick freaks who seem to lack a sense of humor
Are making violence just so they can sell us freedom
Do you do it for pain?
Do you do it for pleasure?
Do you do it for fame?
Will you do it forever?
Would you stick a needle in the eye of love?
Do you do it for pain?
Do you do it for pleasure?
Do you do it for fame?
Will you do it forever?
Would you stick a needle in the eye of love?
