[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you see fit for yor brother

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
Is that not within realm of understanding?
A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding?
Oh, then

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Whittle]
Well the poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper or go and talk to a friend (Pen and paper) (Go and talk to a friend)
The history of the future (The history of the future)
No violence or revenge

[Chorus 2: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Whittle]
Your shame is never... ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life (Guilty!)
God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love

[Bridge: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Whittle]
We all have the ability
Our freedom is fragile
We all laugh and we cry, don't we?
We all bleed and we smile
[Chorus 1: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Whittle]
Your shame is never... ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life (Guilty!)
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

[Interlude]

[Chorus 3: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Whittle]
Your shame is never... ending
Just one psychological drama after another, another
We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life (Guilty)
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love
We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life (Guilty!)
God only knows, we're not to sacrifice the art of love
We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life (Guilty!)
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love
More we are guilty and how we ever entered into this life (Guilty!)
God only knows, the ultimate necessity of love
