Selfishness
1.verse
Yourself, my friend, I tell you that's the keyword
to all the things you seek.
You haven't learned the value
of feeding your own needs
I know your life is boring
I know you've lost belief
Endless annoying duties
Have torn away your dreams
Devoted to your employer
your friends, your family
You concentrate on how to please them
ignoring your own dreams
1.Chorus
I give a fuck about the way you judge me
Don't treat me like a fool
In case my life is boring,
just tell me what to do
I know I've got a problem
that's why I came to you
So skip the "Mr. Know-it-all"
and tell me what to do
2. Verse
Yourself, my friend, I tell you that's the keyword
Embrace your selfishness.
You need to change the daily routines
and focus on yourself
When you wake up each morning
you better ask yourself:
How can I please my own needs?
What do I want today?
---
And by the way it's no rebellion
to think about oneself
We all do, we just won't admit it.
So cut away the shame
Those who have won't share it
reap what they've sown - alone
Near is the shirt, my friend
but nearer the skin
2.Chorus
How can I turn my back on all my duties?
How can I feed my needs?
As I depend on others
they, too, depend on me
I'm living in a network
with friends and family
I even like to please them,
so don't you lecture me

Outro:
Your friends won't mind if you're behaving selfish or satisfy your needs
They benefit their own way, by facing your relief
There's nothing wrong in pleasing your friends and family
Just do it when you want to, not as a strict routine
