 1st verse
The  first sin that I  once told
 Was to  my parents at ten  years old
I  stole somethin' I'll  admit it
 But not  to priests or crucifixes
Me  and my best  friend Chris
 We built  our alibis  from bricks
And  when we were questioned we  just read our scripts
"I  didn't do it"
 
 2nd verse
The  first crime I did  commit
 Was mischief  night with my  friend Chris
 We packed  our bags with toilet  paper,
Bars  of soap, and egg  containers
And  we targeted everyone  who ever  seemed to do  us wrong
Oh  how the time  turns on
 1st Chorus
 And maybe  Einstein can  express
 The formulaic mysteries  of time
 But I've lost the time
 And maybe  Kafka was  a writer
 But I've  been living like  my name is Samsa
 3rd verse
The  first night I  got my fix
 Was with  my brother and my  friend Chris
 We stole  my mothers Smirnoff  vodka
Mixed  it with some cans  of Fresca
We  learned how our parents  lived
 And found  that we were good  at it
Meet  me at the bottom  or in between
 2nd chorus
 And maybe  Einstein can  express
 The formulaic mysteries  of time
 But I've lost the time
 And maybe  Kafka was  a writer
 But I've  been living like  my name is Samsa
 Outro
 See you in hell
 I'll see ya when I see  ya
 See you in hell
 I'll see ya when I see  ya
 //let Dsus2* ring at the end
 have fun! :D
