Selfish Lyrics - Singles - Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Be careful, you might hear something 

You don't want to hear 

Be careful, you might say something 

That you really mean 

You say, "Take things easy 

Go and have some fun" 

But my mind is hazy 

About times I've spent alone 

So be careful, you might feel something 

You don't want to feel 

Be careful, you might learn something 

You don't want to know 

I say, "Take things steady 

Go on and be alone 

I hope your head's aching 

From having too much fun" 

If I don't know what's cool 

Will you call me a loser? 

If I don't bend the rules 

Will I stay a loser? 

The selfish gene in me 

Has finally come into being 

He's teaching me how to be mean 

But that's a sorry, sorry state to be in 

Stop yawning, start yearning 

Stop yawning, start yearning 

Wake up, wake up, wake up 

Tell me, what you wanna do 

What you wanna do, what you wanna do 

What you wanna do is wake up 

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up 

What you wanna do 

What you wanna do, what you wanna do 

What you wanna do is wake up 

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
