Lookin' After No. 1
The world owes me a livingI?ve waited on this dole queue too longI?ve been standin? in the rain for fifteen minutesAn? that?s a quarter of an hour too long.I?ll take all they can give meAnd then I?m gonna ask for moreCos the money?s buried deep in the bank of EnglandAnd I want the key to the vaultI?m gonna take your moneyCount your loss when I?m goneI?m alright, Jack,I?m lookin? after number one.If I want something I?ll get itDon?t matter what I have to doI?ll step on your face, on your mother?s graveNever underestimate me I?m nobody?s foolI don?t owe nobody nothingCos it?s me that must come throughWhy don?t you stop, think, look, babeI always get what I want and I wanna get youI don?t wanna be like youSongtexteI don?t wanna live like youI don?t wanna talk like you.Don?t give me ?love thy neighbor?Don?t give me charityDon?t give me ?peace and love? or ?good lord above?You only get in my way with your stupid ideasI am an islandEntire of myselfAnd when I get old, older than todayI never need anybody?s help in any way.I?m gonna be likeI?m gonna be likeI?m gonna be like ME
