Its A Sin Lyrics


    (Twenty seconds and counting...
    T minus fifteen seconds, guidance is okay)

    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

    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

    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 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
    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

    (Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione,
    verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)
    [trans. 'I confess to almighty god,
    and to you my brothers,
    that I have sinned exceedingly
    in thought, word, act and omission,
    through my fault, through my fault,
    through my most grievous fault']
