Shameless Sins

Shameful was it, shameful it is,

what we did that night,

what god forbids.

Boys with excuses, 

girls with no appetite, 

shameful was it, shameful it is.

Find it in their faces

when their mouths gleam white,

what god forbids. 

Guilt absolved to ashes

once we recite,

shameful was it, shameful it is.

In the masses and the kids,

no one is free to spite

what god forbids.

The man, he judges

for his own delight.

Shameful was it, shameful it is

that god forbids.

Interesting read, the taboo of sex for underage couples. I am thinking.
