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"]
