Down at guilty party headquarters

It's always guilty party time

Where penance is the price of passion

And passion is our only crime



We must rise up from the darkness

Steaming from these city streets

Run-off swirling all around us

Snaking its way down to the sea



We'll stage a demonstration

And call on every dove

To pass the legislation

To legalize our love

Legalize it

Legalize our love



Why must we shy from the camera

Turn our heads and cover our eyes

Why must we hide from our children

As if they've all been deputized



Calling all our fellow criminals

The lovers who are still at large

All our fellow sex offenders

Let us stand and face the charge



Stage a demonstration

And call on every dove

To pass the legislation

To legalize our love

Legalize it

Legalize our love



They're so concerned

That this love might infect us

They're so concerned

They want to protect us

Standards of decency

Condoms for H.I.V.

But what will protect us

>From prejudice and bigotry



Down at guilty party headquarters

It's always guilty party time

Down at guilty party headquarters

Passion is our only crime
