Selfish

Ashes to ashes

That's how it ends

(you go from) heartache to heartache

As you make amends

(just) bigger and bigger

But two steps back

You want something from nothing

And you're so exact



You think you're a rich man

Now you misbehave

You're not a free man running

Just a comfortable slave



So selfish

You got more than you can use

But you still don't see

You're so selfish

And you're running out of room



Deeper and deeper

As you forge ahead

Higher and higher

But you've been mislead

Harder and harder

You grind the stone

Faster faster faster

Till you're skin and bones



Too much ambition

Without relief

That ain't heaven

But it's what you teach



So selfish

You got more than you can use

But you still don't see

You're so selfish

And you're running out of room



The world was made in seven days

Your heads are bowed to gods in praise

Civilized man can only be saved

When courage and wisdom are finally raised



Who's got the answer

Give me the cure

Don't rush to judgement

Until you're sure



So selfish

You got more than you can use

But you still don't see

You're so selfish

And you're running out of room
