Selfish Lyrics by The Appreciation Post

Work/Sleep

2012

[Verse 1]
I'm just a human being being paid hourly
To sit and watch computer screens do my job for free
Forgetting which one is machine and which of us is me

[Chorus]
I know Jenny wants a diamond ring
I see her tapping her feet
But it ain't to this beat
I know Jenny loves unconditionally
Says she's proud of me
She's got no reason to be
Yeah, no

[Verse 2]
I can't make up mind
Everytime I think I find the shit I'm missing from my life
It all gets shoved aside
I never stop to wonder why I'm always squeezing by

[Chorus]
I know Jenny wants a diamond ring
I see her tapping her feet
But it ain't to this beat
I know Jenny loves unconditionally
Fucking selfish me
Falling back to sleep
Rest, rest

[Bridge]
I'm just a human being
I'm just a human being selfish
