Selfish Like Me
Have you ever had somebody that's special?
Or has it always been number one?
What do you do when the rain keeps on falling down?
Even when you bathe in the sun
Do you ever feel that something's gonna happen soon?
Do you still cry at anything or anyone?
Can you really say that your life's for the taking?
Even with your mask so tightly on
It's not so sensible
But how about we go and watch that movie?
Let's take a trip away
Or this thing is really gonna screw me
Do you ever notice the man in the mirror?
And have you ever asked him his name?
Do you ever give the little things too much attention?
And did they really need it anyway?
Do you ever smile just to make someone happy?
Or are you selfish, just like me?
Do you ever pray when you're pushed to the limit?
We have to have a little, patience please
There won't be festivals
There won't be cinemas, just TV
Don't book your holiday, your money's just as dead as you'll be
It's not so dignified, I'm just as petrified
Nothing's gonna bring me down
'Cause nothing's gonna take us out
It's pulling me under
I'm scared to go outside
It's freaking me out
(Numb the feeling, numb the feeling)
I'm scared to be outside
Baby it's dangerous
Nothing's gonna take us out
'Cause nothing's gonna bring me down
Nothing's gonna take us out
'Cause nothing's gonna bring me down
Do they expect from our hats we'll pull rabbits?
That's not gonna feed anyone
I prefer to breathe when I'm breaking a promise
But what's the point if we're all gonna die anyway?
Or has it always been number one?
What do you do when the rain keeps on falling down?
Even when you bathe in the sun
Do you ever feel that something's gonna happen soon?
Do you still cry at anything or anyone?
Can you really say that your life's for the taking?
Even with your mask so tightly on
It's not so sensible
But how about we go and watch that movie?
Let's take a trip away
Or this thing is really gonna screw me
Do you ever notice the man in the mirror?
And have you ever asked him his name?
Do you ever give the little things too much attention?
And did they really need it anyway?
Do you ever smile just to make someone happy?
Or are you selfish, just like me?
Do you ever pray when you're pushed to the limit?
We have to have a little, patience please
There won't be festivals
There won't be cinemas, just TV
Don't book your holiday, your money's just as dead as you'll be
It's not so dignified, I'm just as petrified
Nothing's gonna bring me down
'Cause nothing's gonna take us out
It's pulling me under
I'm scared to go outside
It's freaking me out
(Numb the feeling, numb the feeling)
I'm scared to be outside
Baby it's dangerous
Nothing's gonna take us out
'Cause nothing's gonna bring me down
Nothing's gonna take us out
'Cause nothing's gonna bring me down
Do they expect from our hats we'll pull rabbits?
That's not gonna feed anyone
I prefer to breathe when I'm breaking a promise
But what's the point if we're all gonna die anyway?
