All I want is the world And everything for me You can rattle off your talk All that matters is what I see If you break me down Break me down Selfish desire Is all you'll blame Cause desperate times Call for desperate measures And I am not ashamed Oh it took me a long time To come to this I have chosen that path I am I am only for me All my dreams are so closed If I open them to you You can count them all as lies You can believe me Or you can believe the truth If you break me down Break me down Selfish desire Is all you'll blame Cause desperate times Call for desperate measures And I am not ashamed Oh it took me a long time To come to this But I have chosen that path I am I am only for me But I could let you in Put your feelings on the shelf There's only room cause it helps myself Oh I could let you in But it's to no avail I only listen cause it helps myself Oh it took me a long time To come to this I have chosen that path I am only for me I took a cane from a blind man I tasted the fruit in the Garden of Eden When I walk out of here I know I'll stand clear But the taste in my mouth remains Still remains	All I want is the world And everything for me You can rattle off your talk All that matters is what I see If you break me down Break me down Selfish desire Is all you'll blame Cause desperate times Call for desperate measures And I am not ashamed Oh it took me a long time To come to this I have chosen that path I am I am only for me All my dreams are so closed If I open them to you You can count them all as lies You can believe me Or you can believe the truth If you break me down Break me down Selfish desire Is all you'll blame Cause desperate times Call for desperate measures And I am not ashamed Oh it took me a long time To come to this But I have chosen that path I am I am only for me But I could let you in Put your feelings on the shelf There's only room cause it helps myself Oh I could let you in But it's to no avail I only listen cause it helps myself Oh it took me a long time To come to this But I have chosen that path I am only for me I took a cane from a blind man I tasted the fruit in the Garden of Eden When I walk out of here I know I'll stand clear But the taste in my mouth remains Still remains Oh it took me a long time To come to this Oh it took me a long time I am only for me Oh it took me a long time To come to this Oh it took me a long time I am only for me Oh it took me a long time To come to this Oh it took me a long time	All I want is the world And everything for me You can rattle off your talk All that matters is what I see If you break me down Break me down Selfish desire Is all you'll blame Cause desperate times Call for desperate measures And I am not ashamed Oh it took me a long time To come to this I have chosen that path I am I am only for me All my dreams are so closed If I open them to you You can count them all as lies You can believe me Or you can believe me I took a cane from a blind man I tasted the fruit in the Garden of Eden When I walk out of here I know I'll stand clear But the taste in my mouth remains Still remains
