Selfish Lyrics

Ashes to ashes

 That's how it ends

 You go from heartache to heartache

 As you make amends

 Just bigger and bigger

 You take 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 

 

 [Chorus:]

 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

 You go 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

 You know that ain't heaven

 But it's what you teach 

 

 [Chorus]

 

 [Instrumental break]

 

 Who's got the answer

 Give me the cure

 Don't rush to judgement

 Until you're sure

 

 [Repeat chorus two times]
