Sex Kills - Joni Mitchell

I pulled up behind a Cadillac

We were waiting for the light

And I took a look at his license plate

It said, «Just Ice»

Is justice just ice?

Governed by greed and lust?

Just the strong doing what they can

And the weak suffering what they must?

And the gas leaks

And the oil spills

And sex sells everything

And sex kills…

Sex kills…

Doctors' pills give you brand new ills

And the bills bury you like an avalanche

And lawyers haven’t been this popular

Since Robespierre slaughtered half of France!

And Indian chiefs with their old beliefs know

The balance is undone — crazy ions —

You can feel it out in traffic

Everyone hates everyone!

And the gas leaks

And the oirl spills

And sex sells everything

And sex kills…

Sex kills…

All these jackoffs at the office

The rapist in the pool

Oh, and the tragedies in the nurseries

Little kids packin' guns to school

The ulcerated ozone

These tumors of the skin

This hostile sun beating down on

This massive mess we’re in!

And the gas leaks

And the oil spills…
