Wages Of Sin Lyrics - Singles - 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

And I realized then that the wages of sin 

Was a bad reputation and too many friends
