IT'S A SIN

(Twenty seconds and counting)
(T minus fifteen seconds...)

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

(BRIDGE:)
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

(CHORUS:)
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done, everything I'll 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

(BRIDGE)

(CHORUS)

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

(BRIDGE)

(CHORUS)

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                        {I confess to almighty God}
Vobis fratres                                       {and to you my brothers}
Quia peccavi nimis                          {that I have sinned exceedingly}
Cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione  {in thought, word, act and omission}
Mea culpa, mea culpa                    {through my fault, through my fault}
Mea maxima culpa                            {through my most grievous fault}
