As far as I'm concerned I am The One.
Just like "The Matrix" I agree.
I hate to be so selfish saying this
But it's the truth I have to say.
I never did find Love I must confess,
So egocentric I just have to be.
I love my parents and my sister too,
But in the end it's me who faces all
That Life will throw my way.
And when I die, then you will too
As far as I'm concerned.
No suicide bombing for me my friend,
No martyrdom for me.
Survival Instinct is my god,
Self-preservation is my creed.
I offer no apology
Self-centred I may well just be.
The bigger picture holds no sway,
I'll just keep living day by day.
