Selfish
by Toto

Ashes to ashes
That´s how it ends
(you go from) heartache to heartache
as you make amends
(Just) bigger and bigger
But 2 steps back
You want something from nothing
And you´re so exact
You think you´re a rich man
Now you misbehave
You´re not free a man running
Just a comfortable slave
{Refrain:}
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you´re so selfish
And you´re running out of room
Deeper and deeper
As you forge ahead
Higher and higher
Bur you´ve been mislead
Harder and harder
You grind the stone
Faster Faster Faster
Till you´re skin and bones
Too much ambition
Without relief
That ain´t heaven
But it´s what you teach
{au Refrain}
The world was made in seven days
Your heads are bowed to God in praise
Civilized man can only be saved
When courage and wisdom are
finally raised
Who´s got the answer
Give me the cure
Don´t rush to judgement
Until you´re sure
{au Refrain}
