Selfish as the 1980s
Selfish like a troubled teen
Selfish as the friend who needs you
Selfish like your squalling child
I want to know what life is like to disregard everybody else's feelings
Grown such a filthy word - let's claw back its beautiful meanings
Me, me, me, me, me - I want to be selfish
Selfish as the nouveau riche
Selfish like Sarah, Sarah
Selfish as the fucking homeless
Selfish like a pussycat
Won't be coming to your gig tonight, I won't stand for old ladies on the bus on the way
Maybe soon I can even dispense with the pretence - be honest, be candid with you and say...
Me, me, me, me, me - I want to be selfish
