I don’t need reminding to look after myself
So maybe when you wave goodbye
You could think of something else
I don’t need reminding who is number one
On my list of priorities when all is said and done

I’ve never grown from the terrible two’s
I’ve just learned to hide from all of you

Who is gonna sing my selfish song
Well the answer is me so don’t sing along
Who is gonna change this heart of stone
Oh my God my life is a selfish song

Every revolution leads the people on
With promises and changes egalitarian
Hitler Mussolini Stalin Bonaparte
Well they prove a revolution
Doesn’t really change your heart

I’ve never grown from the terrible two’s
Don’t you know nothing changes after a coup

They build a wall from the east to the west
Saying maybe Jesus was a communist
‘Cause he spoke of love and equality
Then tell me why did they nail Him upon a tree?

‘Cause he said, everyone is singing such a selfish song
And we don’t want help not from anyone
I can make a change in your heart of stone
Hey don’t you know that you can’t
Do it on your own
