Helpyourselfish

(Album: Helpyourselfish - 1995)

I've been bounced around
But I'm still standing up
I've been so far down
That my ears they popped
And it was then I knew
By all the wrongs you do
That if you can't be good, be careful
To achieve your happiness
On this terrestrial ball
Gotta have a clean conscience
But even better: none at all
But if you can't be good be careful, yeah

It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish
And when your friends begin to lose their way
Don't look back just helpyourselfish
Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish
Through the revolving door on someone else's push
Yeah, it's easy to be hard easy to be hard

In between those who've got it made
And those who've got to wait
Yeah, I'll offer you a chair
But when you sit down it isn't there
Always quick to lend a hand
Sorry not today I can't
But I'm always there when I need you, yeah

It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish
And when your friends begin to lose their way
Don't look back just helpyourselfish
Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish
Through the revolving door on someone else's push
Yeah, it's easy to be hard easy to be hard
Yeah, when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now
And when your friends begin to lose their way
Don't look back just helpyourselfish
Through the revolving door on someone else's push
Yeah, it's easy to be hard yeah, yeah, easy to be hard
