Living in Sin (song)
Living in Sin is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. It was written by Jon Bon Jovi. It was released in 1989 as the fifth single from the band's smash-album New Jersey. It also was the fifth single from New Jersey to chart in the Top 10, allowing Bon Jovi to bear the record for the most songs from a rock album to reach the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at #9 on that chart and #37 on the Mainstream rock charts.
Song structure
The song, which has a slow beat, strong bass rhythm by studio bassist Alec John Such, an emotional delivery of lyrics, driving guitars, and interspersed keyboards, discusses cohabitation and argues that true love is stronger than anything, despite what other people may say ("I call it love, they call it living in sin").
When performed live, the band often play a short cover of "Chapel of Love" during the outro of the song.
Music video
The music video for the song was filmed in all black-and-white, just like "Born to Be My Baby." While the video does feature some shots of the band performing, primarily of Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, most of the video focuses on a fictional young couple and their struggle to sustain a relationship despite the disapproval of the girl's parents. The video is noted for several of its steamy romance/sex scenes, including on a beach, in a car, and in a hotel room, and the video was censored in some parts because they were considered too racy. An ironic scene is shown the young girl taking communion with her family. The final scene of the video shows the girl running away from home to meet up with her boyfriend, and then the girl's parents walking in on them sleeping together in a hotel room. They take her home, and the video ends when the boyfriend driving in his car to the girl's home, where she snap-decides to run away with him.

LIVING IN SIN
by: MammalYou've got a nation hiding its ears from the deafening
sound,
Yeah two hundred & twenty years buried deep
underground,
See the people walking on the icons proudly,
Yeah two hundred & twenty years buried deep
underground!
We will begin, living in sin,
We will begin, like a man who's living on dreaming,
We will begin, living in sin,
We will begin.
Listen hard to the cries of the babes snatched from the
breast,
Yeah every government's failed when put to the test,
Legislating & selling off bomb rock,
Listen hard to the cries of the babies snatched from
the breast!
We will begin, living in sin,
We will begin, like the man who's living on dreaming,
We will begin, living in sin,
We will begin, like a man who's living on dreaming.
Raising the ghosts, ending boasts,
Cutting the chains releasing futures,
Raising alarm, turning charms,
Cutting the chains releasing futures,
We will be born again, this rape defeated,
One day of hope when we start believing,
Black, red & yellow, roots have been seeded,
As backs turn on mindsets, with nothing left to defend!
How's it feel now you're defeated?
See the lies get buried deep.
How's it feel now you are defeated?
Not talking crosses,
Not talking books,
Not talking weeds,
Not sharing looks,
Not talking right,
Not talking wrong,
Not planting seeds,
I'm singing songs.
I'm talking cross,
I'm talking books,
I'm spraying weeds,
I'm sharing looks,
I'm taking sides,
We might collide,
It's my divine,
Finding what's right!
Finding what's right!
Raising the ghosts, ending boasts,
Cutting the chains releasing futures,
Raising alarm, turning charms,
Cutting the chains releasing futures!
We will be born again, this rape defeated,
One day of hope when we start believing,
Black, red & yellow, roots have been seeded,
As backs turn on mindsets, with nothing left to defend!
Nothing left to defend!
Nothing left to defend!
Nothing left to defend!
Nothing left to defend!
You've nothing left!

Oh no, it's time for you to go,
Oh no, it's time for you to go,
Oh no, it's time for you to go,
