Modern Day Cain (Slow Jam Version)

[Verse 1]

A modern concussion

The room is on fire

You're an upstanding model

Of a modern day Cain

With impeccable style

[Pre-Chorus 1]

So now you've done a little wrong

And you need to be forgiven

By the vicar and the company you keep

And then you conjure up a fiction

To get the pretty girl to listen

[Chorus]

This is, the sin, that I

Will confess to release myself

From consequence

And everyone can tell

[Verse 2]

The moral objections

To something so profane

Oh but the deepest of convictions

Are the darkest positions

Little conditions for the varicose vain

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Now you've done a little wrong

And you swear you didn't do it

But volition left you burdened with a curse

And then you conjure up a fiction, yeah

To get the pretty, pretty, pretty

[Chorus]

This is, the sin, that I

Will confess to release myself

From consequence

And everyone can tell

(Everyone can tell)

This is, the sin, that I

Will confess to release myself

From consequence

This is, the sin, that I

Will confess to release myself

From consequence

And everyone can tell

[Outro]

And everyone can tell, yeah

And everyone can tell

And everyone can tell
