"Bank Of Bad Habits" lyrics

"Bank Of Bad Habits"

The rumors and the stories of my past, I can't deny
I'm no St. Ignatius, but again I'm no barfly
The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

Bank of bad habits, the price of vice foretold
One by one they'll do you in, they're bound to take their toll
The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

Last night I said good bye to a dear old friend of mine
Just a throwback shell beach party, nothing really asinine
Rum and cooked animals and bullshit by the ton
That party lasted way too long and I had way too much fun

Bank of bad habits, the price of vice foretold
One by one they'll do you in, they're bound to take their toll
The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

Time for you to spend that dough
You're the only one you owe
So put away those alibis
You can't fool that banker in the sky
Now let me tell you about the seven deadly sins
One: Pride - Thou shalt not have pride in thy neighbor
Two: Coveting - Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
Three: Lust - Thou shalt not lust after his neighbor's wife
Four: Anger - Do not be angry with your neighbor's wife
Five: Gluttony - Do not eat thy neighbor's wife's popcorn
Six: Envy - Do not envy your neighbor's wife
Seven: Sloth - Do not be a sloth
And the eighth deadly sin is pizza

A picture's worth a thousand words, just ask a camera man
And it's no sin to stop and look, I do it when I can
But you have to purge that urge to merge, you have to keep your head
Or trouble is what you will find inside some stranger's bed

Bank of bad habits, the price of vice foretold
One by one they'll do you in, they're bound to take their toll
The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control
I got this bank of bad habits, it's worth its weight in gold

Yea we're talkin' Krugerrands, Doubloons
You know I was wondering
Do you think they have an ATM machine for bad habits?
I think I'll apply for that card
