Seven Deadly Sins (live)
Now the Seven Deadly Sins come creeping up my spine,
Some say they’s born of Hellfire, I say they’s divine.
Well I never been a good man, and the Lord only knows,
I’m an evil like a deamon, it only goes to show,
I’m begging you, Lord, have mercy on my soul!
Greed
Now on the day I was born, there was greed in my eye,
She ain’t never gonna leave me, until the day I die.
I stole this here guitar, girl, and learned how to play,
Well don’t hate the player, darlin’… player, hate the game!
I’ll steal your heart, girl, I’ll steal your heart away.
Envy
Now about when I turned five, I nearly lost my way,
My mama couldn’t keep me from running away.
Ya see my brother was the good boy, to which I could not compare,
I never understood why life was so unfair,
I got envy in my bloodline, but I hold away despair.
Lust
Now when I got to high school, envy turned to lust,
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.
I see it your eyes, girl, and so I gots to take you home,
I ain’t never gonna forget you, darling, wherever I may roam,
Cuz I’m leaving here tomorrow, so why don’t we do it in the road.
Wrath
I fought my way through childhood, fought my way through school,
Fighting bars at night, well that’s my golden rule.
Don’ t even step to me, son, lest you’re fixin’ to die,
I’ll take away you’re manhood. I’ll send you back to Jr. High.
My wrath is like no other, this here is my battle cry.
Gluttony
Steak and cheese for breakfast, mutton chops for lunch,
I’m calling up my lady to feed me grapes by the bunch.
Well if you can’t cook me dinner, darlin’, I guess this is goodbye,
My hunger never lessens, sugar, no I can’t be satisfied,
So gimmie that, gimmie that, gimmie that Daemon Chili Pie.
Sloth
Now I’m all fat and lazy, some says I’m a slob,
I ain’t got no aspirations, I ain’t looking for no job.
Well I never saw no reason working hard for something more.
If I was a woman, Lord knows I’d be a ****.
You don’t like my disposition, honey, allow me to show you the door.
Pride
Now when I look inside the mirror, I’ll tell you what I see:
A golden god of Low-Town looking back at me.
Make no mistake, child, I’m ruthless and I’m vain,
Everything I do in life is for personal gain,
And if I die sad and lonely, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Well if I die sad and lonely, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
So when I die sad and lonely, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
