User Mentality

Gimme, gimme, gimme Take, take, take But when it's time to give, "I don't have it. Not today" The only giving I know Is when others give to me Forget other people It's all about my needs If you have what I want I'll do what I can Just to allure you, Then trap you like quick sand I lie and I lie, I cheat and I cheat Whatever it takes I have no integrity My craft is manipulation My heart is a black hole The only thing I care about Is the image I uphold I pretend to be nice And I appear to be sweet But that's just an act I'm corrupted with greed I'm warped in evil Spoiled to the core It's never enough I always want more I'm the center of the universe Everything revolves around me I'm the most important thing To ever live and breathe I'm the sun and the moon, The stars and the sky When it comes to personality, I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Why am I like this? Don't ask me I guess God made me selfish With a user mentality
