Lyrics
OK, I’ll tell you how to be a real failure You want to know how to make a mess of your life, listen carefully When you drive on the road in a city Cut in front of everybody - that’s witty Tell yourself you’re more important than them In fact, you don’t care about life or limb When you finish that drink in your hand Tryin’ to figure out what to do with the can You got your neighbor’s yard sittin’ right over there Let him throw it away, hey what do you care? Chorus Just think (think about you) Just think (think about you) ‘Bout yourself Just think about yourself and never, never care about anybody else (repeat …) Now when you’re at home all your manners neglect Don’t forget to forget to show respect “Excuse me”, “Thank you”, “Please”, you do without “I’m sorry” should never come out of your mouth And when you decide to play the music you love Turn it up so everybody can groove And if a neighbor says “Hey, turn it down!” Remember you’re the most important person in town Repeat Chorus When you go for a job, just to set the right tone Don’t worry ‘bout the time ‘cause your time is your own Dress the way you want, dress the way you feel And get there when you get there and show you’re for real Now you hear “Pull over!” and you know it’s the man Tell him off and get as smart as you can Though he’s wearin’ a badge he’s wasting your time And who is he to tell you that you gonna pay a fine? Repeat Chorus Now there’s a lot more I could say to you But I’m sure you get the point and what I’ve said will do Take my advice and be as selfish as you can You’re gonna be a failure whether woman or man Slow down and take just a moment to see If that’s the way you wanna do; that’s the way you wanna be If you really wanna make a mess of your life Hey, all you gotta do is take my advice
