Selfish from Desiderium by Jeff Paul

Drive down the road
The windows are down
The radios up
The pedal is down
All the cars in the way
I drive around
Honk on my horn
I'm going downtown
At the stop light
A man with a frown
Asks what can you spare
And I turn him down

I got places to be
Don't you hear the sound
The Engine's running hot
And my heart starts to pound
When the light turns Green
I ain't hanging round
The cars roll on
Get the hell out of town

Cuz I'm selfish
Owooooo
That's who I am
Cuz I'm selfish
Owooooo
That's who I am

Got a woman at home
Keeps waiting on me
I'm out with my friends
Got too drunk to see
Can't leave my car
Cuz that'll be a fee
So I pay off my tab
Try to find my keys
Gotta close one eye
To read the signs on the street
Stop at a drive thru
Get something to eat

Ahead is a man
Walking thru on his feet
They won't take his order
Without a driver's seat
I watch him walk away
Suffering defeat
His family in a tent
Where they sleep on concrete

Cuz I'm selfish
Owooooo
That's who I am
Cuz I'm selfish
Owooooo
That's who I am

She's always waiting for me
When I come home at night
Takes me in her arms
Makes everything alright
When I lock that door
And turn out the lights
I cry into her arms
She tells me everythings alright
I tell her that I love her
But it turns into a fight
She slaps me in my face
And she balls her fist up tight

She pounds into my chest
And hits with all her might
She comes back to bed
Just like everything's alright
She tries to tell me something
But it's time to say goodnight
We cast shadows on the wall
As we make love out of spite

Cuz we're selfish
Owooooo
That's who we are
Cuz I'm selfish
Owooooo
That's who I am

I'm selfish
Owooooo
Ain't nothing gonna change
Cuz I'm selfish
Owooooo
That's who we are
