Selfish Song

Paul Colman Trio

I don't need reminding to look after myself

So maybe when you wave goodbye

You could think of something else

I don't need reminding who is number one

On my list of priorities when all is said and done



I've never grown from the terrible two's

I've just learned to hide from all of you



Who is gonna sing my selfish song

Well the answer is me so don't sing along

Who is gonna change this heart of stone

Oh my God my life is a selfish song



Every revolution leads the people on

With promises and changes egalitarian

Hitler Mussolini Stalin Bonaparte

Well they prove a revolution

Doesn't really change your heart



I've never grown from the terrible two's

Don't you know nothing changes after a coup



They build a wall from the east to the west

Saying maybe Jesus was a communist

'Cause he spoke of love and equality

Then tell me why did they nail Him upon a tree?



'Cause he said, everyone is singing such a selfish song

And we don't want help not from anyone

I can make a change in your heart of stone

Hey don't you know that you can't

Do it on your own
