Well, those feelings have been shaken You've been stepped on You've been taken Now you're clenching your fist And that crazed, evil passion begins Now you're waiting for your victim Careful, planning, getting even And you strangle your love When you strengthen your habit of hate Trapped in your habit of hate Now your raging, vicious dealings And your spiteful, wicked scheming Are the lines on you face The tracks that only malice can bring You can't live with this feeling You can't stop gettin' even You can settle the score But you can't break that habit of hate Trapped on your habit Hatred will tear out your heart It will drain your lifeblood Like a poison in your veins No one can take it away If you won't pray for an answer There's a price you'll have to pay Trapped in your habit of hate Stranded in the darkness that is blinding your eyes You won't ever find love 'Til you break those evil ties Trapped in your habit of hate
