[Spoken:] Wages Of Sin, voice choir, bridge.
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oooh, ooh, oooh, ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooh
I seen a man and he tore apart himself apart every day
Hey man...
What are you doing?
Na na na no one could hear sha na na no one no
Still wages of sin they keep me paying
Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done
All my life now, I've been guilty
But I don't know what it is that I've done
Oh, oh, oooh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oooooooh, ooooooooooh, oh, oh, oh, ooooooh
Oh, oooooh
Baby and we pull each other
You pull my heart out
You really him
Baby and I hate him
Wages of sin we keep payin'
Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done
Wages of sin... payin'
Turn to... Done, like I turn to no one
Ooooh, ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Oh, oooh, oooh
The above lyrics are for an acoustic home demo take of WAGES OF SIN recorded, according to Brucebase, at Thrill Hill Recording (Springsteen's home studio) in Colts Neck, NJ, sometime between January and April 1982. This is an incomplete work-in-progress take. It can be found on The Lost Masters Vol. 10 (Labour Of Love) bootleg.
Thanks Jake (ol'catfishinthelake at BTX and Greasy Lake) for the lyrics help.
