The title of this song parodies the title of “Sweet Leaf” by Black Sabbath. “Sweat Loaf” also has a guitar riff that’s very similar to the main riff in that song, but distorted.
[Intro]
"Daddy?"
"Yes, son?"
"Wh-wh-wh-wh-what does regret mean?"
"Well, son, a funny thing about regret is
That it's better to regret something you have done
Than to regret something you haven't done."
"And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend
Would you be sure and tell her; Satan! Satan! Satan!"
[Chorus]
Oh!
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
[Bridge]
Oh!
Heads up
Believe me her
I ain't gonna lie
(Laughter)
[Chorus]
Oh!
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape of desire (of desire, of desire, of desire)
Rape, rape, rape rape rape
Oh!
[Outro]
Of desire, of desire, of desire, of desire
Of desire, of desire, of desire, of desire
Of desire, of desire, of desire, of desire
Of desire, of desire, of desire, of desire
