Song Description

- This is a song that was written in the heat of the moment about a person I knew who showed themselves to be one of the most selfish people on the planet. If you've ever had a bad breakup, or just been screwed over by people who try to take advantage of you in every way possible, then this is the song you will want to play. And if you are someone who is so self-centered you have no idea of what kind of damage you do to people around you, this is your song.

Lyrics

I'd like to tell you I was wrong
I'd like to say I got it all messed up
And I am sorry I am not
'Cause I am happy to admit my faults
And you can never hope to be
A person with a shred of integrity
I tried to help but I cannot
You'll never get it and that ain't my fault

Heaven knows you are
Selfish is what you are

You dwell in petty little thoughts
The bigger picture is a tiny dot
Your narrow mind can't hope to grasp
What I am saying 'cause you're such an ass
I hate to say it but I must
Your mind is open but your ears are shut
And though you have two working ears
With which to hear this you will listen not

Heaven knows you are
Selfish is what you are

I guess I have no more to say
I tried to be your friend in every way
I even liked to give you stuff
You always took it with a turned up nose
And so it finally came to be
The time has come that I must be set free
And though I think I'll miss you some
You'll never notice that I'm even gone

Heaven knows you are
Selfish is what you are
