So Selfish It's Funny - Showbread

Someday they’ll write a book about you

Because you’re so selfish it’s funny

So self-absorbed, this thunderous horde

Of you, you, you

So self-absorbed, this thunderous horde

Of you, you, you

Yeah, I’d love you

But you love yourself

And you’d love me

But I love myself

So tense are these nerves in any instance

Teeth snap and a toe taps the dirt

Cry like a baby and see if then maybe the others will cherish your hurt

Never you see a cry or a plea

Consider another or first

Know this is your world

The harsh words you have hurled

Recall you are the one in need worse

Yeah, I’d love you

But you love yourself

And you’d love me

But I love myself

Yeah, I’d love you

But you love yourself

And we’d serve you

But we serve ourselves

Ignoring you, I dance, oh I do

Through magnificent realms, quite divine

Stopping to see my face smiling at me

For this is my life and my time

Yeah, I’d love you

But you love yourself

And you’d love me

But I love myself

Yeah, I’d love you

But you love yourself

And we’d serve you

But we serve ourselves

What an arduous task, it proves such a feat

To be only one of a kind

Though the scenery slips through the spaces we meet

Press forward and leave me behind

What an arduous task, it proves such a feat

To be only one of a kind

Though the scenery slips through the spaces we meet

Press forward and leave me behind

What a child you are, for you look just like me

Looking out for number one, I’m all that I have and all that I see

Saved by the grace of the Son

So shall we deny?

And rot as we die?

As I write a book about me

My noble wealth of serving myself

I am so selfish it’s funny
