It's a sin

When i look back upon my life
It's always without a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

For everything i long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything i've never done
Everything i never do
Every place i've never been
Everywhere i'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything i long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything i've never done
Everything i never do
Every place i've never been
Everywhere i'm going to
It's a sin

Father forgive me, i tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, i didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause i didn't care
And i still don't understand

So i look back upon my life
Forever without a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

For everything i long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything i've never done
Everything i never do
Every place i've never been
Everywhere i'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
