A Common Sin Lyrics

There is nothing original

About suffering for your sins

All limbs are vestigial

If you're out you're in

The hammer is blunt

And may be overkill

Words are just a grunt

A guttural spill

There is nothing new

Under the sun

Ecclesiastical few

Or less wonderful fun

I read a book once or twice

It laid down the law

The pictures were nice

But the story was flawed

There is something rotten

In the air tonight

There is something rotten

In the air tonight

There is something rotten

In the air tonight

Something rotten

In the air

There is something rotten

In the air tonight

It tastes like ill begotten

Kisses, but not quite

It feels like sinning

Without any guilt

I could be winning

If I didn't always wilt

The screw is loose

And the driver is cracked

I cooked your goose

For an evening snack

I could be powerful

If I didn't even care

I just go sour though

So buyer beware
