Selfish - Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Be careful, you might hear something

You don’t want to hear

Be careful, you might say something

That you really mean

You say «Take things easy

Go and have some fun»

But my mind is hazy

About times I’ve spent alone

So be careful, you might feel something

You don’t want to feel

Be careful, you might learn something

You don’t want to know

I’ll take things steady

Go on and be alone

I hope your head’s aching

From having too much fun

If I don’t know what’s cool

Will you call me a loser?

If I don’t bend the rules

Will I stay a loser?

The selfish gene in me has finally come into being

He’s teaching me how to be mean

But that’s a sorry, sorry state to be in

Stop yawning, stop yearning

And wake up

What you wanna do is wake up
