Self-Pity

Lyrics

You owe a lot to self-pity It got you through your darkest days And anybody looking at the record Would say you had a case You never imagined that you'd ever really make it through And now that you have, you don't know what to do The future has arrived, but where are you? Ooh-wah-ooh, I see you crying Ooh-wah-ooh, I hear you trying Though you've got it down to a science Self-pity won't help you now Look at yourself, do you really believe That the world needs to see another aging enfant terrible? Alienation makes the world go 'round And as a fashion statement It's absolutely sound But you're not really an alien as such Self-confidence makes you seem so out of touch But self-pity seems like it's a bit too much Ooh-wah-ooh, looks like you blew it Ooh-wah-ooh, looks like you knew it Though you taught the world how to do it Self-pity won't help you now Self-pity won't help you now Self-pity Self-pity won't help you now
