Lips upon lips, and skin upon skin -
lust is building up from deep within.
You couldn't imagine feeling this way:
licking and sucking and fucking all day.
You look down on me, while you're on your knees,
but at least I know I'll escape a venereal disease!
Do you think they respect you, up against the wall?
I'm proud of my chastity; unlike you, I won't fall.
I look at myself and see only perfection,
and I know I deserve all the attention.
Pride is no more than a sense of self-worth -
and it has been instilled in me since birth.
You might mistake me for having no dignity,
but it would do you good to learn some humility.
There is nothing wrong with self-deprecation;
less pride would be met with more appreciation.
What is the point in all this exertion?
And don't even bother trying coercion;
you and I both know that sloth is okay!
So let's just chill out a bit; what do you say?
But surely diligence is the way you should go;
laziness is abhorrent, I should hope you know!
If everyone was slothful, where would we be?
We'd fall apart while sitting in front of the TV.
Beer and some pizza; a cupcake or three -
can anything be better than gluttony?
Biscuits and donuts and burgers galore;
don't think of stopping - I always want more!
Have you looked at yourself in a mirror lately?
Your chin wobbles; your waist's expanded greatly -
you dare to pig out and then look down on me?
Perhaps, after all, temperance is the key.
I'm glad none of those pesky morals interfere -
when I'm after something, others should fear.
Being envious just means I know what I need;
there's nothing wrong with that, you must concede!
On the contrary, I'm inclined to disagree -
your envy is both dangerous and unhealthy!
Rather than always trying to race on ahead,
perhaps you could try a little kindness instead.
The tiniest things can get me all fired,
but wrath is a quality to be admired.
There's nothing wrong with passionate rage -
would you prefer emotions locked in a cage?
Oh but you see, anger can be destructive -
how can your rage possibly be productive?
Nothing will come of it but a coronary -
patience is preferable; surely you see?
Nothing that I want can escape from me -
and I want pretty much anything that I see.
There's nothing wrong with a little greed;
for me, getting my own way is guaranteed!
And is getting your own way such a blessing?
Who exactly do you think you're impressing?
If all were like you, we'd destroy humanity;
perhaps you should try a little generosity.
So somebody has their priorities wrong;
or maybe sins and virtues can get along?
I don't have to pick the left or the right -
I'll just find balance between red and white...
