Federal Empire, The - Bad Habits Lyrics






When you look at me
And my tattoed sleeves
Yeah I'm just bad news
Wrapped in clever pleasantries
Why can't you see?

Hey! Hey!
Isn't it funny we all want what isn't right?
Yeah I said hey! Hey!
Maybe you love me 'cause I'm just another vice

I chain smoke, drink too much, lose my luck
Playing poker all night long, I'm such a mess
Stay up late, caffeine buzz, we've all got
Bad habits we don't want I must confess
That I'm one too, too
No good for you, you

C'mon can't you see?
Are you too naïve?
When you look at me
Are you lying to yourself
Just to believe?

Hey! Hey!
Isn't it funny we all want what isn't right
Yeah I said hey! Hey!
Maybe you love me cause I'm just another vice

I chain smoke, drink too much, lose my luck
Playing poker all night long, I'm such a mess
Stay up late, caffeine buzz, we've all got
Bad habits we don't want, I must confess
That I'm one too, too
No good for you, you

When you look at me
And my tattoed sleeves
Yeah I'm just bad news
Wrapped in clever pleasantries
Why can't you see?

I chain smoke, drink too much, lose my luck
Playing poker all night long, I'm such a mess
Stay up late, caffeine buzz, we've all got
Bad habits we don't want, I must confess
That I'm one too, too
No good for you, you

    I literally am in love with this song and I can't stop listening to it!! Is there sheet music????? Or chords that you can tell me so I can learn it on piano/guitar!!!

    I’ve been jamming these guys out for years now and they are super fantastic,Can never get enough,What a great transformation from Carolina liar to The federal Empire...This kinda reminds me of The killers when Brandon the lead singer Converted the Band to Brandon Flowers,They are the two best new age groups in my opinion,If you all like deep seeded lyrics with good positive messages then here is a few mentions,Ben cocks,The wombats,Two door cinema and last but not least Grace Vanderwaal...✌🏻❤️Everyone!!!
