Lyrics
V1
Ask yourself what do you need?
Is it something you could do without
The world has so many mouths to feed
Stop to think what life's really about
V2
If you're the man of the hour
Is there room for someone else to shine
Or are you addicted to power
First to stand at the front of the line
Bridge
Excessive love, self-admiration
Narcissism, Narcissism
Chorus
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Are you only focused onyour own needs
Empathy for others will set you free
Be the change, others will follow your lead
Narcissism is like a sickness
That grabs hold in a selfish way
The look at me culture is such a mess
We must have something better to say
Bridge
Narcissism is our prison
It's a modern-day anarchism
V3
We can live a life of pretense
Self-absorbed and Preoccupied
Our high-and-mightyarrogance
Allows us tothink we can standby
Bridge
And ignorea neighbor's pain
Humanity goes down the drain
Chorus
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Are you only focused on your own needs
Empathy for others will set you free
Be the change, others will follow your lead
Narcissism is like a sickness
That grabs hold in a selfish way
The look at me culture is such a mess
We must have something better to say
Outro
Narcissism is our prison
It's a modern-day anarchism
Narcissism, Narcissism
