It's pride against money

Love against pride

Drivin' all the demons

That I've been keepin' inside

I always go for the long shot

I never hesitate

When I wave to the four winds

The fickle finger of fate



If greatness courts failure

Then failure's my fame

Although they call me a legend

They can't remember my name

Some people chasin' their savior

Some people chasin' their call

As for my foolish behavior

It's just a character flaw

It's just a character flaw

No matter what you saw

It don't matter at all

It's just a character flaw



Some men livin' for pleasure

Some thrivin' on pain


Some for the ball and chain

So if you call me a sinner

Or if you call me a saint

When I come up a winner

Don't want to hear your complaint



If greatness courts failure

Then failure's my fame

Although they call me a legend

They can't remember my name

Some people chasin' their savior

Some people chasin' their call

As for my foolish behavior

It's just a character flaw



No matter what you saw

It don't matter at all

It's just a character flaw

It's just a character flaw

It's just a character flaw

It's just a character flaw

It aint against the law 

And you can kiss my ass

It's just a character flaw
