Narcissist Nation

In Narcissist Nation

It's all about self

What's in it for me

Forget everyone else

 

The views you cling to

I do not approve

In this all the above attitude

Without a clue

 

In Narcissist Nation

Only I have the right

To say what I say

False truth in my eyes

 

I'll follow the crowd

To the dark side of town

Then light a fire

And burn it all down

 

In Narcissist Nation

There's no need to discuss

I'll scream at you

While at me you cuss

 

With new slogans and sayings

On which to feed

As the world continues baking

In insanity

 

In Narcissist Nation

This will not end good

If we continue forsaking

All that we should

 

If we only focus inward

In this I, Me, Mine, time

And not see through into

This narcissistic lie

I heard a guy today say we've turned into a nation of narcissists... I'm beginning to think he's right.
