about

Self-explanatory, as long as you're paying attention to the lyrics.

lyrics

I am a selfish prick
I am an opportunist
I turn the pain of others
into my own benefit.

All that you say I am
I very well may be
but you will never know
'cuz epithets are all you see.

I must do awful things
that you are unaware of
you're just a victim
of the hateful way I live my life

You take as guaranteed
a secondhand attack
before you even shook my hand
you stabbed me in the back.

Your thoughts are hand-me-downs
all your opinions are given to you
by somebody else,
Why don't you simmer down?
Just take a breath and in the meantime
you just might think for yourself.

I am a selfish prick
I am an opportunist
I turn the pain of others
into my own benefit.

All that you say I am
I very well may be
but you will never know
'cuz epithets are all you see.
