Why do you talk when you should listen?
Why do you rape when you should pay?
Where do you stand when we're assigned to good or bad?
May your sins be forgiven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead
(May all your sins be forgiven) before the devil knows you're dead, love
(May all your sins be forgiven)

Why do you plunge when you should stand up?
Why do you kill when you should praise?
What do they say those insane voices in your head?
May your soul arrive in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead
(May all your sins be forgiven) before the devil knows you're dead, love
(May all you sins be forgiven) before you're dead and gone
(May all your sins be forgiven) before the devil knows you're dead, love
(May all your sins be forgiven) before you're dead and gone

(May all your sins be forgiven) before the devil knows you're dead, love
(May all you sins be forgiven) before you're dead and gone
(May all your sins be forgiven) before the devil knows you're dead, love
(May all your sins be forgiven) before you're dead and gone...
