When i look back upon my life
It's always with 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 ever done
Everything i ever do
Every place i've ever 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

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
