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 bullshit 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.
