The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The rumors and the stories of my past i can't deny

I'm no st. ignatius but again i'm no bar fly

The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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 too much fun

Chorus

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

That bank of bad habits

It's worth its weight in gold

Bridge

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

Shoth-do not be a slob

And the eighth deadly sin is

Pizza

Verse

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

Chorus

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

It's worth its weight in gold

Yea we're talkin

Kruggerand

Dubloon

You know i was wondering,

Do you think they have an atm

Machine for bad habits?

I think i'll apply for that card
