Ashes to ashes That's how it ends (you go from) heartache to heartache As you make amends (just) bigger and bigger But two steps back You want something from nothing And you're so exact
You think you're a rich man Now you misbehave You're not a free man running Just a comfortable slave
So selfish You got more than you can use But you still don't see You're so selfish And you're running out of room
Deeper and deeper As you forge ahead Higher and higher But you've been mislead Harder and harder You grind the stone Faster faster faster Till you're skin and bones
Too much ambition Without relief That ain't heaven But it's what you teach
So selfish You got more than you can use But you still don't see You're so selfish And you're running out of room
The world was made in seven days Your heads are bowed to gods in praise Civilized man can only be saved When courage and wisdom are finally raised
Who's got the answer Give me the cure Don't rush to judgement Until you're sure
So selfish You got more than you can use But you still don't see You're so selfish And you're running out of room
