[Intro]
I pay the tax "for my sins"
I pay the tax "for my sins"

[Verse 1]
You got it all so terribly wrong
Someone gets hurt and look at us now
All up in arms this is the home straight
It’ll soon be over
I pay the tax
I pay the tax
"for my sins"
They bend the law
Pay off the court
"for my sins"

[Verse 2]
I bet they thought they knew all along
Hiding above the glass ceiling
Where are they now?
Why can’t they come out and tell it how it is?
We’ve all read the papers..
I pay the tax
I pay the tax
"for my sins"
They exploit the poor
And bend the law
"for my sins"
I pay the tax
I pay the tax
"for my sins"
[Outro]
I pay the tax (they bend the law)
I pay the tax (exploit the poor)
For my sins (for their sins)
For my sins (for their sins)
