WAGES OF SIN

Home demo version 1

I seen a man carrying a heavy stone
On his back out in the hot sun
And I asked him if I could lift his weight
He just said, "get away from me son"

Wages of sin
Well I'm payin'
Wages of sin for the wrongs I've done
Wages of sin, I, I thought they'd kill me but, ah
They just don't kill, I bet, this all's done

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

Hey, man, I ran outside
I seen a man, east of the eastern gate
Heavy stone in the hot sun
Said, "excuse me" but you gonna lift this weight?
He just said, "get away from me son"

Wages of sin
I kept payin'
Wages of sin for the wrongs I've done
All my life I've been guilty
But I don't know what it is I've done

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
