Selfishness

Selfishness

1.verse

Yourself, my friend, I tell you that's the keyword

to all the things you seek.

You haven't learned the value

of feeding your own needs

I know your life is boring

I know you've lost belief

Endless annoying duties

Have torn away your dreams

Devoted to your employer

your friends, your family

You concentrate on how to please them

ignoring your own dreams

1.Chorus

I give a fuck about the way you judge me

Don't treat me like a fool

In case my life is boring,

just tell me what to do

I know I've got a problem

that's why I came to you

So skip the "Mr. Know-it-all"

and tell me what to do

2. Verse

Yourself, my friend, I tell you that's the keyword

Embrace your selfishness.

You need to change the daily routines

and focus on yourself

When you wake up each morning

you better ask yourself:

How can I please my own needs?

What do I want today?

---

And by the way it's no rebellion

to think about oneself

We all do, we just won't admit it.

So cut away the shame

Those who have won't share it

reap what they've sown - alone

Near is the shirt, my friend

but nearer the skin

2.Chorus

How can I turn my back on all my duties?

How can I feed my needs?

As I depend on others

they, too, depend on me

I'm living in a network

with friends and family

I even like to please them,

so don't you lecture me

Outro:

Your friends won't mind if you're behaving selfish or satisfy your needs

They benefit their own way, by facing your relief

There's nothing wrong in pleasing your friends and family

Just do it when you want to, not as a strict routine
