PLEASURE Vs PROFIT LYRICS
We have included an MP3 of the song lyrics for the DVD. The music and lyrics were
developed by Jucilino Levis Albano Dos Santos. Check out LEVIS’
www.Myspace.com/levis23 for examples of his music.
These lyrics could be used to stimulate discussion on the pressure young men face to
conform and behave in certain ways, according to the script and messages they
receive through our sexualised culture and pornography.
I know what I'm gonna do.
Don't let them tell you how to be you.
Got to be strong and carve your own way.
Porno and pimps, forget what they say.
Young man what you gonna say, tell them they're wack.
You'll make you're own play.
Enough is enough, you've had 'bout your fill.
Won't let 'em in, won't swallow that pill.
Page 3, strip bars, lap dancers, porn stars.
Can't believe you're telling me
that that's the way that I should be.
All this hardcore that I see
kind of saturates my brain.
Everything I try to be
they're telling me that I'm insane.
We can do it if you please.
We can do it when we want.
Sex is great, natural see.
Especially when we both agree.
Now my sexuality is all mine see.
I don't want no industry snuggled up in bed with me,
telling me how I should do it.
Telling me to prove it, prove it.
Telling me they'll show me if I watch it
in a hardcore movie.
