Me and Us
I live in the land of me and us
Here we look out for number one
Self care
Holidays
New cars
Big house
Travel the world
Finest meals
Satisfying our every need
Self help books to read
It's all about me and us
Self congratulation
Poor me
How do I feel
Is my life good enough
Do I need more stuff
Was my childhood too rough
Let's talk about me and us
The rest of the world is them
They don't have it right
They need to see me and us's light
Don't we shine so bright
Beacons in the night
We keep playing the same song
Thinking the world is singing along
In the end we have it wrong
Lives of sad desperation
Lacking contemplation
Blocked with constipation
Where is the inspiration
I wish to move
Join the world of yours and others
A place where we are all brothers
The focus away from me
There is so much more to see
I'm one branch on a larger tree
In the land of me and us
I was never free
I was just me
Empty
Me me me
That's not who I wish to be
