“Sex Is Not the Enemy” is track #7 on Garbage ’s fourth album Bleed Like Me . It was released as the third single from the album.
The song was influenced by the February 1, 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, which led to a censorship row in the media after singer Janet Jackson ’s bare breast was exposed by Justin Timberlake in what was referred to as a “wardrobe malfunction”. Manson noticed that the incident was featured on the USA Today cover for three days in a row with no mention of the Iraq war.
The media was only focusing on Janet’s beautiful tit, which I thought was bizarre. There are a lot worse things to have your children see on TV that parents are happily plopping their kids down in front of. [The song is] sort of dealing with that and dealing with the idea that this administration is really clamping down on reproductive rights and stuff like that. So it’s sort of heavy, but it’s coated in this really anthemic, upbeat party song."
The music video was directed by Sophie Muller.

No evolution, sometimes it depresses me
The same old same, oh, we keep repeating history
The institution curses curiosity
It's our conviction, sex is not the enemy

A revolution
Is the solution
A revolution
Is the solution

I don't feel guilty, no matter what they're telling me
I won't feel dirty and buy into their misery
I won't be shamed 'cause I believe that love is free
It fuels the heart and sex is not my enemy

A revolution
Is the solution
A revolution
Is the solution

True love's like gold, there's not enough to go around
But then there's God, and doesn't God love everyone?
Give me a choice, give me a chance to turn the key
And find my voice: sex is not the enemy

A revolution
Is the solution
A revolution
Is the solution
Sex is not the enemy
A revolution

You can tell
From the scars on my arms
And the cracks on my hips And the stains on my skirt And the dents in my car
And the blisters on my lips And the veins about to burst...
Eels - "Novocaine For The Soul" Life is hard
And so am I
You'd better give me something
So I don't die

Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out

Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming...
No Doubt - "Don't Speak" You and me
We used to be together
Every day together, always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end

It looks as though
You're letting go
And if it's real,...
Tori Amos - "Cornflake Girl" Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hanging with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
Giving us a yo heave ho
Things are getting kind of gross
And I go at sleepy...
Hole - "Malibu" Crash and burn
All the stars explode tonight
How'd you get so desperate?
How'd you stay alive?

Help me, please
Burn the sorrow from your eyes
Oh, come on be alive again
Don't lay down and die!

Hey,...
