By Warren Zevon c. Zevon Music BMI, 1980 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 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? 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 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? If and when you feel an ill wind Don't be too surprised Remember when you should have Picked on somebody your own size 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? How am I gonna pay for How am I gonna pay for How am I gonna pay for the sin?
