[Verse 1]
Started as a young boy with too much time on his hands
Money came easy, too easy for a weak man
Just as luck would have it, he had success
Hooked up with the right crowd, living in excess (Ah)
[Chorus]
It started as a habit
Just another habit
Then he had to have it
A dirty fuckin' habit
[Verse 2]
A few years later, this ol' boy became a cliche
A washed-up junkie with a label next to his name
Then, one night, he loaded up on his way to bed
He didn't wake up, just another rockstar dead
Yeah
[Chorus]
It started as a habit
Just another habit
Thеn he had to have it
A dirty fuckin' habit
[Bridge]
He had еverything
And pissed it all away
And now he's nothin' but another dead junkie
Another dead trick, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now he won't be remembered for the man he set out to be
But just another waste with addiction that he couldn't beat
[Chorus]
It started as a habit
Just another habit
Then he had to have it
A dirty fuckin' habit
[Outro]
It all started as a habit
(Started as a habit)
Just another habit
(Started as a habit)
And then he had to have it
(Started as a habit)
A dirty fuckin' habit
(It all started as a) Habit
