We are selfish Why? Well, Because we think this world is ours. It is ours to run It is ours to cherish It is ours to ruin Why? Because we think that flowers are beautiful We pick them, we pluck them As if they bloom for us Why? Because we think birdsong is charming We imitate it We sell it, we listen to it As if they sing for us Well we are selfish I am selfish You are selfish Don't deny it We are all selfish We are all human We are all the same

Selfish?
We are selfish Why? Well, Because we think this world is ours. It is ours to run It is ours to cherish It is ours to ruin Why? Because we think that flowers are beautiful We pick them, we pluck them As if they bloom for us Why? Because we think birdsong is charming We imitate it We sell it, we listen to it As if they sing for us Well we are selfish I am selfish You are selfish Don't deny it We are all selfish We are all human We are all the same
Aren't we?
