twenty seconds and counting
t minus fifteen seconds guidance is internal
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
post
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
