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"]
