How to be a Narcissist
1. (Give Reasons)
...I wish I knew you
...I wish I knew what you'd say
...I wish I was you
2. And I Believed
Nice dreams plague my sleep
Where you tell me what you want
But you won't say now
3. JPEG
I'm here, you are saved
Saved and smiling on the disc
Saved, your life makes mine
4. Actors
I'm sorry for you
Please, will you be sorry too
To follow the script
5. Ego Malfunction
Some cunning disguise!
Those words could not have been hers
We have found a flaw
6. Patient
You're full of questions
Can't answer them all right now
Hope you get well soon
7. TV Dinners
Packaged Kraft dinners
Taste nice when we see the ad
United we sit
8. Our March on Rome
Turn on the telly!
The news is for all of us
We're good together
9. Time and Money
So, you're not insured!
Mortality's in dollars
So, you've had your day
10. The Treatment
Please sit down and stay
Just forget all their problems
You will be okay
11. My Empty Seat
Please don't vote for me
Facts are too strange for fiction
Vote for my picture!
12. Life as a Narcissist
Film me a favour
Lend me my full attention
Satisfy me, live!
