[Spoken]
Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride
Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride
One: Lust. Dante defined lust as the disordered love of individuals, thus possessing at least the redeeming feature of mutuality.
Two: Gluttony. Overconsumption, overindulgence. To go down and swallow. Anything to the point of waste.
Three: Greed. Avarice, covetousness. It is a lot like lust. It is a sin of desire. Plunges a man deep into the mire of this world. It is an inordinate desire to acquire and possess more than one needs.
[Chorus]
Your wicked ways
Your fall from grace
You never listened to your mother anyway
You never learned
You never learned
You never learned
[Spoken]
Four: Sloth. A peculiar jumble of notions. It's often a failure to do things that we should. There's mental sloth, spiritual sloth, the physical state of sloth, the absence of interest.
Five: Wrath. Anger, rage, hatred. People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing.
Six: Envy. The most potent cause of unhappiness. To be sad or resentful towards the shapes or possessions of someone else.
Seven: Pride. The never-failing voice of fools. Love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor.
[Chorus]
Your wicked ways
Your fall from grace
You never listened to your mother anyway
Your wicked ways
Your fall from grace
You never listened to your father anyway
You never learned
You never learned
You never learned
[Outro]
Step by step I’ll get to heaven
Good deed by good deed, better
I’ll work to make some leverage
I’ll find my inside
Step by step I’ll get to heaven
Good deed by good deed, better
(Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride)
I’ll work to get some leverage
I’ll find my inside
Step by step I’ll get to heaven
Good deed by good deed, better
(Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride)
I’ll work to get some leverage
I’ll find my inside
Step by step I’ll get to heaven
Good deed by good deed, better
(Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride)
I’ll work to make some leverage
I’ll find my inside
Step by step I’ll get to heaven
Good deed by good deed, better
(Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride)
I’ll work to make some leverage
