Song Lyrics

The rumors and the stories of my past I can`t deny

I`m no Saint Ignatius but again I`m no barfly

The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control

I`ve got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

Bank of bad habits

The price of vice fortold

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`ve got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

Last night I said goodbye to a dear old friend of mine

Just a throw back shell beach party, nothin` really asinine

Rum and cooked animals and bullsh*t by the ton

That party lasted way too long and I had too much fun

Bank of bad habits

The price of vice fortold

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`ve got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

That bank of bad habits is worth its weight in gold

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

(Spoken)

Now let me tell you about the 7 Deadly Sins:

1. Pride...Thou shalt not have pride in thy neighbor.

2. Coveting...Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor`s wife.

3. Lust...Thou shalt not lust after his neighbor`s wife.

4. Anger...Do not be angry with your neighbor`s wife.

5. Gluttony...Do not eat thy neighbor`s wife`s ........popcorn.

6. Envy...Do not envy your neighbor`s wife.

7. Sloth...Do not be a slob.

And the eighth deadly sin is............PIZZA!

A picture`s worth a thousand words just ask a cameraman

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`ve got this bank of bad habits

It`s worth it`s weight in gold

(Spoken)

Yeah, we`re talkin` Krugerands......dubloons

I was wonderin`, um, do you think they have an ATM machine for bad habits?

Hmm.

I think I`ll apply for that card.
