Jimmy Buffett - Bank of Bad Habits lyrics
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

You know I was wondering,
Do you think they have an ATM
Machine for Bad Habits?
I think I'll apply for that card
