Lyrics
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la la la)

Nothing is provocative anymore
Even for kids
No room for imagining
'Cause everyone's seen everything

Question what the TV tells you
Question what a pop star sells you
Question mom and question dad
Question good and question bad

If history could set you free
from who you were supposed to be
If sex in our society
didn't tell a girl who she would be
'Cause all my life I've tried to fight
what history has given me

Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la la la)

If women were religiously
recognized, sexually
We wouldn't have to feel the need
to show our ass, it's to feel free

Been there, done that
Got the T-Shirt
Sold my soul
And yeah the truth hurts
Tired image of a star
Acting naughtier than we really are

If history could set you free
from who you were supposed to be
If sex in our society
didn't tell a guy who he should be
'Cause all my life I've tried to fight
what history has given me

Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la la la)

All my life I've felt it deep inside of me
All this time was fighting for what I believe
All my life I've tried to hide
what history has given me

If history could set you free
from who you were supposed to be
If sex in our society
didn't tell a guy who he should be
'Cause all my life I've tried to fight
what history has given me

Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex (la la la)

OH. MY. GOD.

HOLY SWEET CHRIST I DON'T EVEN EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF RIGHT NOW.

THIS VID IS FUCKING MINDBLOWING. I CAN'T, I JUST CAN'T EVEN PICK OUT MY FAVORITE PARTS!

The editing is AMAZING and HOLY SHIT and the way you contrast imagery and just the showing of all these little parts of the show and "All my life I've tried to hide / what history has given me" PERFECTION OMFG

AND ALL THE SHOTS OF WOMEN BEING FRIENDS, AND HELPING EACH OTHER, AND SUPPORTING EACH OTHER, AND BREAKING APART, AND BEING SEXUAL AND JUST. OMFG BRB I HAVE TO REWATCH THIS VID 34546456 MORE TIMES.

Thank you sooo much!

This vid is FUCKING AMAZING. I just--everything about it, from song choice to emotional and logical arcs, to the little snips of contextual material like Elvis Presley on the television, it all WORKS. You've packed in so many themes and so many characters while still taking the time to linger where needed. You've pulled together what the show is and what I want it to be and you've made them sing harmonies.

I could point to so many tiny moments here that make me go AAAAAAAAAAA but the one that keeps making me want to shiver and jump up and down on my chair at the same time is "question good and question bad". Just--nailed it.

Ah, this comment means a lot to me, especially the line above -- thank you so much!

[valoise]

Very powerful vid! I'm putting Masters of Sex on To Be Watched list right now!

[violace]

Yes, dooo that! Thank you!

[thingswithwings]

I really adore this - I especially love how you show each character trapped in their own way by cultural narratives about sex and gender, how what their bodies can do and be and mean is shaped by history. Powerful, and a perfect encapsulation of the show.

[violace]

I really loved this comment, thank you so much. :)

[leanwellback]

Wow, what a fantastic vid! I need to watch this show, don't I?

[violace]

You MUST watch it. Thank you!

[starlady]

Excellent, excellent song choice and editing. I need to watch the show…

[violace]

Thank you!

[aruan]

Really smart editing, telling so many stories so coherently. Hooray for ladies challenging traditional gender/social/sexual roles!

[violace]

Hooray indeed! Thank you!

[franzeska]

I loved what you did with 'Question what the TV tells you' especially.

[violace]

Thank you!
