Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Selfish lyrics

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'll 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, stop yearning And wake up What you wanna do is wake up
