“Sex Yeah” is the fourteenth song on Marina and the Diamonds' second album, Electra Heart. It ruthlessly––and rightly––criticizes society on the division and enforcement of gender roles and how each gender is discriminated against.
The song was intended for her scrapped second album die Life, with...
[Refrain]
Sex, sex, sex, sex (Yeah), sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex (Yeah), sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Verse 1]
Nothing is provocative anymore, even for kids
No room for imagining, 'cause everyone's seen everything
[Pre-Chorus]
Question what the TV tells you (La-da-da)
Question what a pop star sells you (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Question mom and question dad (La-da-da)
Question good and question bad (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Chorus]
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, me
[Refrain]
Sex, sex, sex, sex (Yeah), sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Verse 2]
If women were religiously recognized sexually
We wouldn't have to feel the need to show our assets to feel free
[Pre-Chorus]
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt (La-da-da)
Sold my soul, and yeah, the truth hurt (La-da-da-da-da-da)
Tired image of a star (La-da-da)
Acting naughtier than we really are (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Chorus]
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, me
[Refrain]
Sex, sex, sex, sex (Yeah), sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex (Yeah), sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Bridge]
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, me
[Chorus]
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, me
[Outro]
Sex, sex, sex, sex (Yeah), sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex (Yeah), sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da)
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, yeah (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
