Paula Cole - 7 Deadly Sins Lyrics

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, and to gulp down and swallow
Anything to the point of waste
Three: Greed
Avarice, covetousness
It is a lot like lust, that is, a sin of desire
Plunges a man deep into the [?] of this world
It's an inordinate desire to acquire and possess
More than one needs

Your wicked ways
Your fall from grace
You never listened to your mother anyway
You never learned
You never learned
You never learned

Four: Sloth
A peculiar jumble of emotions, haha...
It's often a failure to do things that you should
There's mental sloth, spiritual sloth
The physical state of sloth, the absence of interest
Five: Ah, 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 traits 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

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

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
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
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
I'll work to get some leverage
I'll find my inside
Step by step...
