Lyrics
He never, ever saw it
Coming at all
He never, ever saw it
Coming at all
He never, ever saw it
Coming at all
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright
Hey, open wide, here comes
Original sin
Hey, open wide, here comes
Original sin
(Vrrr)
Hey, open wide, here comes
Original sin
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it a-a-all
Power to the people
We don't want it
We want pleasure
And the TVs try to rape us
And I guess that they're succeeding
And we're going to these meetings
But we're not doing any meeting
And we're trying to be faithful, but we're
Cheating, cheating, cheating
Hey, open wide, here comes
Original sin
Hey, open wide, here comes
Original sin
(Vrrr)
Hey, open wide, here comes
Original sin
It's alright, it's alright,
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it a-a-all
Power to the people
We don't want it
We want pleasure
And the TVs try to rape us
And I guess that they're succeeding
And we're going to these meetings
But we're not doing any meeting
And we're trying to be faithful, but we're
Cheating, cheating, cheating
I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it a-a-all
All, all, all,
All, all, all, all, all
All, all, all, all, all
All, all, all, all, all
All, all, all, all, all
All, all, all, all, all
All, all, all, all, all
