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
