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

at school they taught me how to be
so pure in thought and word and deed
they didn't quite succeed
so i look back upon my life
for ever with a sense of shame
i've always been the one to blame

it's a
it's a
it's a
it's a sin.
