Lookin' After No. 1 |
The world owes me a living |
I’ve waited on this dole queue too long |
I’ve been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutes |
That’s a quarter of an hour too long |
I’ll take all they can give me |
And then I’m gonna ask for more |
Cos the money’s buried deep in the bank of England |
And I want the key to the vault |
I’m gonna take your money |
Count your loss when I’m gone |
I’m alright, Jack |
I’m lookin' after number one |
If I want something I get it |
Don’t matter what I have to do |
I’ll step on your face, on your mother’s grave |
Never underestimate me I’m nobody’s fool |
(repeat chorus) |
Don’t wanna be like you |
Don’t wanna live like you |
Don’t wanna talk like you, at all |
Don’t give me love thy neighbour |
Don’t give me charity |
Don’t give me peace and love or the good lord above |
You only get in my way with your stupid ideas |
I am an island |
Entire of myself |
And when I get old, older than today |
I’ll never need anybody’s help in any way |
(repeat chorus) |
Don’t wanna be like you |
Don’t wanna live like you |
Don’t wanna talk like you, at all |
I’m gonna be like |
I’m gonna be like |
I’m gonna be like ME! |
