- Original Sin LyricsYou might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and it's held by many
Well I'm sure you had to see
It's open arms
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And waked up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away
Dream on, play with fire
White boy, black girl
Dream on, in the name of love
Black boy, white girl
Dream on, white boy, black girl
Black boy, white girl
Dream on, the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Original Sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and it's held by many
Well I'm sure you had to see
It's open arms
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
You thought what a pity
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And waked up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away
Dream on, play with fire
White boy, black girl
Dream on, in the name of love
Black boy, white girl
Dream on, white boy, black girl
Black boy, white girl
Dream on, the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity

Facts about Original Sin
✔️
Original Sin is written by Andrew Charles Farriss, Michael Kelland Hutchence.
✔️
It is first released on May 01, 1984 as part of Inxs's album "The Swing" which includes 10 tracks in total. This song is the opening track on this album.
✔️
When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, the hit 'Original Sin' from the Australian band INXS explores the notion of sin and love very indepthly, the way the song portrays them as linked opposites that can produce unpredicted effects. The words indicate a dreaming and waking cycle, which is a very strong point in the song. It is kind of reinforcing the very idea that dreams are short-lived and love-driven actions have their consequences which might, in the end, be pronounced in terms of loss and pity. Original sin lyrics mainly highlight love, suffering, social commentary, heartbreak and reflection upon self. However, the song equally interestingly points out the value of racial identity and unity, disillusionment and lost dreams as well as the pitfalls of love. There are mature themes in the lyrics like murder and original sin that might be inappropriate for kids under 13 years old. The expression 'murder committed in the name of love' implies a very serious and possibly shocking theme, thus, a PG-13 rating may be justified.
