[Verse 1]
Why do you talk when you should listen?
Why do you rape when you should pay?
Where do you stand when we're assigned to good or bad?
May your sins be forgiven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead
[Chorus]
May all your sins be forgiven before the devil knows you're dead
May all your sins be forgiven
[Verse 2]
Why do you plunge when you should stand up?
Why do you kill when you should praise?
What do they say those insane voices in you head?
May your soul arrive in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead
[Chorus]
May all your sins be forgiven before the devil knows you're dead
May all your sins be forgiven before the devil knows
May all your sins be forgiven before the devil knows you're dead
May all your sins be forgiven just before he knows
[Instrumental Break]
(Before the devil knows you're dead)
[Chorus]
May all your sins be forgiven before the devil knows you're dead
May all your sins be forgiven before you're dead and gone
May all your sins be forgiven before the devil knows you're dead
May all your sins be forgiven just before he knows
[Chorus]
May all your sins be forgiven before the devil knows you're dead
May all your sins be forgiven just before, before
May all your sins be forgiven before the devil knows you're gone
May all your sins be forgiven before you're dead and gone
[Outro]
May all your sins be forgiven
May all your sins be forgiven before you're dead and gone
May all your sins be forgiven
May all your sins be forgiven
