The Moment of Conception
At the moment of conception
I could see someone approaching
Will you be my disco dancer?
I could use a little coaching
Will you be my secret lover?
Mother, father, sister, brother too
I was born without a conscience
Full of freedom, full of nonsense
From the mountains to the beaches
Eat the apples, steal the peaches
Will you be this wild child's lady?
Will you carry me to safety?
Lock me up and take me home
I don't wanna be free
Going crazy on my own
It's not where I wanna be
I behave without compassion
I see things, I want to smash them
When I put our love in danger
And treat you like a total stranger
I don't really want to hurt you
I would stop it if I could do
Blame my school and blame my parents
And the genes that I inherit
Blame it on my older sister
For showing me her dirty pictures
Blame it on TV and movies
Blame the lawyers and the juries
Lock me up and take me home
I don't wanna be free
Going crazy on my own
It's not where I wanna be
At the moment of conception
At the moment of conception
I could see someone approaching
Will you be my disco dancer?
I could use a little coaching
Will you be my secret lover?
Mother, father, sister, brother too
I was born without a conscience
Full of freedom, full of nonsense
From the mountains to the beaches
Eat the apples, steal the peaches
Will you be this wild child's lady?
Will you carry me to safety?
Lock me up and take me home
I don't wanna be free
Going crazy on my own
It's not where I wanna be
I behave without compassion
I see things, I want to smash them
When I put our love in danger
And treat you like a total stranger
I don't really want to hurt you
I would stop it if I could do
Blame my school and blame my parents
And the genes that I inherit
Blame it on my older sister
For showing me her dirty pictures
Blame it on TV and movies
Blame the lawyers and the juries
Lock me up and take me home
I don't wanna be free
Going crazy on my own
It's not where I wanna be
At the moment of conception
At the moment of conception
