It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin
Every place I've ever been
They didn't quite succeed
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

Forever with a sense of shame
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
At school they taught me how to be
Every place I've ever been
Everything I've ever done
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done

Everything I've ever done

Has one thing in common, too
No matter when or where or who
And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life
So pure in thought and word and deed
It's a sin
Has one thing in common, too

Everywhere I'm going to
It's always with a sense of shame
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Everything I ever do
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
For everything I long to do
Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione
Has one thing in common, too
When I look back upon my life
I've always been the one to blame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
Everything I ever do
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
For everything I long to do

It's a sin
No matter when or where or who
Verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
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
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Every place, I've ever been
Everything I ever do
No matter when or where or who
