Sins Of The Flesh Lyrics - Lucky Dube

I lie awake at night 

And I think about it 

Where I have been 

And who I' ve been with 

'Cause all around me 

I see them dropping like flies 

Everytime they tell us 

We say it doesn' t exist 

And all we wanna do 

Just to have some fun 

Reverand Jackson says 

The time has come 

That the holy book 

Has been talking about 

The good Rev. also said 

Where there' s pleasure 

There will always be danger 

On his knees I heard him pray so hard 

He said God save your children 

Chorus: 

Save us from the sins of the flesh 

Things we have learned 

From our good & loving parents 

When temptation comes 

It all becomes useless 

Like an ashtray on a motorbike 

Everything you do remember 

The body bag hangs 

Next to the first aid kit 

It' s your life 

It' s your world 

I' m just passing through 

Reverand Jackson said 

The time has come 

That the holy book 

Has been talking about 

Chorus till fade
