Eu Sou Egoísta

If you think you have little luck
If you worry about illness or death
If you fear hell
Eternal fire, God, evil

I am a star in the abyss of space
What I want is what I think and what I do
Where I am, there's no bogeyman, no, no
I always move forward in the infinite nothingness
Flaming my rock, my scream
My sword is the guitar in my hand

If all you want in your life is just peace
Lots of sweetness, your name in the spotlight
And you get upset if the sugar takes too long
And you cry, you pray, you ask, you beg

While I always taste the vinegar and the wine
I want to have temptation on the way
Because man is the exercise he does
I know
I know that the purest taste of honey
Is just a flaw in the gall
And that war is a product of peace

What I eat as a full plate
Could well be your poison
But how will you know without trying?

If you think what I say is fascist
Mixed, simplistic or anti-socialist
I admit, you're on the right track
I am an 'ist', I am selfish
I am an 'ist', I am selfish
I am selfish, I am
I am selfish, I am
I am selfish, I am
I am

Why not?
Why not!
Why not?
Why not!
Why not?
Why not!
Why not?
