The problem of leisure What to do for pleasure Ideal love, a new purchase A market of the senses Dream of the perfect life Economic circumstances The body is good business Sell out, maintain the interest Remember Lot's wife Renounce all sin and vice Dream of the perfect life This heaven gives me migraine The problem of leisure What to do for pleasure Coercion of the senses We are not so gullible Our great expectations A future for the good Fornication makes you happy No escape from society Natural is not in it Your relations are of power We all have good intentions But all with strings attached Repackaged sex keeps your interest Repackaged sex keeps your interest Repackaged sex keeps your interest Repackaged sex keeps your interest Repackaged sex keeps your interest Repackaged sex keeps your interest The problem of leisure What to do for pleasure Ideal love, a new purchase A market of the senses Dream of the perfect life Economic circumstances The body is good business Sell out, maintain the interest Remember Lot's wife Renounce all sin and vice Dream of the perfect life This heaven gives me migraine This heaven gives me migraine This heaven gives me migraine
