Sins of the Flesh - Sister Machine Gun

Well, I never had a chance to learn

The dignity won’t be returned

I give you everything I have

But I get what I have earned

I talk about?

inside

The dignity won’t be denied

If this what your heaven’s like

Well, I think I’d rather burn

Now I lay me down to sleep

And pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

I can’t afford this sinful pride

I might as well be crucified

I thank the Lord, I try to take

This pain that has returned

Sins of the flesh and naked aggression

The only thing I hear is the voice of oppression

Well, I take the pain every night

Insanity’s a dying fight

And everything I ever knew

Retreats like fantasies

Visions of a perfect life

Where every smile hides a knife

For all I get for what I gave

Well, fuck your goddamn dreams

Now I lay me down to sleep

And then pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

Now Jesus Christ a superstar

Just not who I think you are

Things I learned when I was young

Are never what they seem

Now I lay me down to sleep

And pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

Sins of the flesh and naked aggression

The only thing I hear is the voice of oppression

Now I lay me down to sleep

And pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take
