So Selfish It's Funny

Someday they’ll write a book about you
Because you’re so selfish it’s funny
So self-absorbed, this thunderous horde
Of you, you, you
So self-absorbed, this thunderous horde
Of you, you, you
Yeah, I’d love you
But you love yourself
And you’d love me
But I love myself
So tense are these nerves in any instance
Teeth snap and a toe taps the dirt
Cry like a baby and see if then maybe the others will cherish your hurt
Never you see a cry or a plea
Consider another or first
Know this is your world
The harsh words you have hurled
Recall you are the one in need worse
Yeah, I’d love you
But you love yourself
And you’d love me
But I love myself
Yeah, I’d love you
But you love yourself
And we’d serve you
But we serve ourselves
Ignoring you, I dance, oh I do
Through magnificent realms, quite divine
Stopping to see my face smiling at me
For this is my life and my time
Yeah, I’d love you
But you love yourself
And you’d love me
But I love myself
Yeah, I’d love you
But you love yourself
And we’d serve you
But we serve ourselves
What an arduous task, it proves such a feat
To be only one of a kind
Though the scenery slips through the spaces we meet
Press forward and leave me behind
What an arduous task, it proves such a feat
To be only one of a kind
Though the scenery slips through the spaces we meet
Press forward and leave me behind
What a child you are, for you look just like me
Looking out for number one, I’m all that I have and all that I see
Saved by the grace of the Son
So shall we deny?
And rot as we die?
As I write a book about me
My noble wealth of serving myself
I am so selfish it’s funny
