Natural Sinner

Sometimes I feel too old to work
Too young to die
But I drink wine and whisky
I'll keep smoking till I die;
I wear a suit of sadness made by experience
For I believe that in the end
Time will heal what man can't mend.

I'm a natural sinner
Born a sinner's son.
Evil's been my motto
Distrust ev'ryone.
I'm a natural sinner
Born a sinner's son.
Evil's been my motto
Distrust ev'ryone.

I'm a natural sinner
Born a sinner's son.
