Lyrics - Wages Of Sin by Rainmakers

"
The
Wages
Of
Sin" by
The
Rainmakers from _
Tornado_ ---------------------------------------------------
I was praying last night when an angel broke the line
She said "
I'm gonna have to put you on hold for a time"
I said "
Hold like
Hell, let me talk to the
Boss"
She said "
Sorry sucker (sinner), it's the
Boss's day off"
And
I realized then that the wages of sin
Was two bucks an hour and working weekends
I was ignoring the thief who was lashed to the cross
He cried "
Help me get this son-of-a-bitch off"
I said "
I would if
I could,
I can't so
I won't
Well
I wouldn't want you messing your hair up, so don't"
And
I realized then that the wages of sin
Was all the lumber you can carry, all the nails you can bend
The wages of sin, the price that you pay
Is worrying and fretting every second of the day
If
Heaven is guilt, no sex and no show
Then
I'm not sure if
I really want to go,
Oh
The wages of sin, the reward of fear
Is worrying and fretting every second of the year
The
Church and the
State, your
God and
Countrykind
One gets your body, the other gets your mind
Mary,
Mary
Magdalene, how 'bout a date?
You've been wasting your time staying up so late
Your boyfriend's dead, the word is you're a whore
Just about then
I heard a knock on the door
And
I realized then that the wages of sin
Was a bad reputation and too many friends
The wages of sin (repeats)
