Natural's Not In It Lyrics

Performed by Gang of Four

The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
The body is good business
Sell out, maintain the interest
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Remember Lot's wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the bourgeois life
This heaven gives me migraine

Coercion of the senses
We are not so gullible
We all have goo intentions
But all with strings attatched

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
The problem if leisure
What to do for pleasure

Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest

The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
The body is good business
Sell out, maintain the interest
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Remember Lot's wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the bourgeois life
This heaven gives me migraine
This heaven gives me migraine
This heaven gives me migraine

i wonder | Reviewer: t6h1y1 | 11/16/10

I wonder if the ad people for the sony move listened to the song at all because the hook for the song is now featured in the new sony move ad campaign. I hope the boys made a crap load of $$ still a great song "this heaven give's me migrains"

That's the problem | Reviewer: Mr. Douchebag | 4/22/10

Everything we do - or not do- depends on our leisure time... wheneevr que feel we need to do something to distract our minds, we go for it.
Doesn't matter if it's sex, candy, a TV show, we just forget what's the real deal and we look for the next best thing just around the corner

Gang of Four is in it! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/25/08

i saw them last night perform live, and boy, did they sound good.

This song especially had both the sophistication of a lifetime of musical experience and the raw energy of a band that never sold out.

Sheer Brilliance!

A timeless classic. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/3/08

"Natural is not in it."
Go4's observation that nothing we do in modern society is entirely natural; it's all the product of some unseen manipulating force -- the TV, fashion magazines, what is spoken at the job or in the classroom or on campus. There's no escape from society -- there's absolutely no purity in the way we conduct our lives, according to this song.

This song still sounds fresh to my ears, and as relevant as ever. Great food for thought, and it makes such latter-day protest bands such as Rage Against the Machine sound like Sesame Street.

Where is the Social Consciousness | Reviewer: Michael | 8/7/07

Great song about consumerism.
Where are such songs nowadays?
This was recorded back around the time of Thatcherism and Reganism.
We need songs like this now more than ever!
