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"]
