Selfocracy Lyrics

[00:48.82] My mother told me not to go near mirrors
[00:51.52] For it seems that one day
[00:53.33] A young boy died through looking at himself too long
[00:56.78] People say that they are ravenous
[00:59.13] That they hunger for perfect reflection
[01:01.80] That their insatiable appetite can even kill
[01:05.12] Many of those among us who lose themselves in mirrors
[01:08.53] Too many who only live for appearances
[01:12.18] Aware that he is not the fairest of all
[01:15.08] Man is jealous and evil
[01:17.35] And aware that he is not the ugliest of all
[01:19.79] Man is boastful and arrogant
[01:22.43] The mirrors distort us
[01:24.27] They hatch outsized egos inside us
[01:27.56] Selfish, self-centred
[01:29.45] This is what they are reflecting from mankind
[01:32.03] Why help someone, if his misfortune allows us to advance?
[01:36.35] Mother told me not to go near mirrors
[01:39.84] Because it would seem that the more we look in them more our ears stop listening
[01:44.60] And our eyes stop seeing that the world continues to revolve around us
[01:49.66] Welcome to Selfocracy
[02:26.77]
