Self Lyrics by Steve Pollak

Crimes of the Mind

1994

[Verse 1]
Grass has been greener, skies have been bluer
I know my soul is down in the sewer
You say that I am selfish; well, you know that that is true
I don't care what you say, pretty mama, and I don't care what you do

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't care about anyone except myself
And I don't care about anyone except myself
In the land of the brave and the home of the free
Well, I don't care about anyone except for me

[Verse 2]
If you are unhappy and you have not won your race
Well, there ain't no mеrcy in this world, and there ain't none out in spacе
So welcome to the nineties, I hope that you make it through
But if you get in trouble, honey, this is what I say to you

[Chorus]
Well, I don't care about anyone except myself
Well, I don't care about anyone except myself
In the land of the brave and the home of the free
Well, I don't care about anyone except for me

[Verse 3]
This is not the era of roses, peace and love
I must admit, I'm the only one that I'm thinking of
Well, I just make my money and I put it in the bank
I buy myself some presents with no one but myself to thank

[Chorus]
And I don't care about anyone except myself
And I don't care about anyone except myself
In the land of the brave and the home of the free
Well, I don't care about anyone except for me

[Outro]
I don't care about anyone except myself
And I don't care about anyone except myself
And I don't care about anyone except for me
