Seven Deadly Sins lyrics

Ever felt that you've been lied

And somehow you just can't provide the proof

Ever felt you're cast aside

And sheltered from the universal truth

Ever find when trouble calls you're first in line

And stick your finger in

Everybody's talking 'bout 7 deadly sins

Number one says drop the gun

There's nothing out there that's worth dying for

And number two that's me and you

I'm green inside and jealous to the core

Number three fidelity I've lost the path

And I'd better start again

This thing's got a strange mystique

The 7 deadly sins

This thing's got the whole world beat

7 deadly sins

I can hear them calling out

I can hear them screaming out

Blood is sweet like a deep red river

And where it goes I don't know

You make me sweat

And you make me shiver

Where it goes I don't know

If you've got sticky fingers

You got dreams that linger running through your brain

Well vanity's the flying "V"

Desire is the one who gets the blame

If you're looking for a goldmine

When all around you seems be tin

I'm not superstitious 'bout the 7 deadly sins

Everybody's calling out 7 deadly sins

Everybody's dreamin' 'bout 7 deadly sins
