The Sin (Live, 1980)

[Verse 1]
It's none of my business, but if I may
Remind you of the time
When you did something you knew was wrong
It wasn't called a crime
And I'm not saying that you should give
A sucker an even break
I'm talking about the time
That you were cruel for cruelty's sake
I'm talking about the time
That you were cruel for cruelty's sake

[Chorus]
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for the sin?
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for the sin?
Hah?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Maybe you went and stuck your key
In somebody else's door
Maybe you went and helped yourself
To something that wasn't yours
Maybe you simply criticized
Someone you hardly knew
You ruined part of their life for them
Part of your own life, too

[Chorus]
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for the sin?
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for it then?

[Bridge]
If and when you feel an ill wind
Don't be too surprised
Remember when you should have
Picked on somebody your own size

[Chorus]
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for the sin?
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for—
How you gonna pay for the sin?
Hah? Yeah

[Interlude]
Hey
Hey
Hey

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
How am I gonna pay for it?
How am I gonna pay for it?
How am I gonna pay for the sin?
