The track that drew most attention was “Sex Kills”, a headline-grabbing title for a song about the direful plagues that threaten an anxious citizen of LA from every angle.

[Verse 1]
I pulled up behind a Cadillac
We were waiting for the light
I took a look at his license plate
It said 'Just Ice'
[Verse 2]
Is justice just ice?
Governed by greed and lust
Just the strong doing what they can
And the weak suffering what they must
[Chorus]
Oh, and the gas leaks
And the oil spills
And sex sells everything
Sex kills
Oh, sex kills
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And Indian chiefs with their old beliefs
Know the balance is undone
Crazy ions, you can feel it out in traffic
Everyone hates everyone
[Chorus]
And the gas leaks
And the oil spills
And sex sells everything
Sex kills
Oh, sex kills
[Verse 5]
All these jack-offs at the office
The rapist in the pool
Oh, and the tragedies in the nurseries
Little kids packing guns to school
[Verse 6]
The ulcerated ozone
These tumors of the skin
This hostile sun beating down
On the massive mess we're in
[Chorus]
And the gas leaks
And the oil spills
And sex sells everything
Sex kills
[Outro]
Sex kills
Sex kills
Oh, sex kills
Sex kills
