Lyrics
Original Sin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love, yeah!
You thought: What a pity
Dream on white boy (white boy)
Dream on black girl (black girl)
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and it's held by many
Well I'm sure you had to see
It's open arms
Dream on white boy (white boy)
Dream on black girl (black girl)
And wake up to a brand new day
Dream on black boy (black boy)
Dream on white girl (white girl)
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
Dream on black boy (black boy)
Dream on white girl (white girl)
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
Dream on play with fire
(white boy) (black girl)
Dream on in the name of love
(black boy) (white girl)
Dream on (white boy) (black girl)
Black boy white girl
Dream on
In the name of love, yeah!
You thought: What a pity
Yeeah
Original Sin!
