Ashes to ashes
Well, that's how it ends
You go from heartache to heartache
As you make amends
Just bigger and bigger
You take two steps back
You want something from nothing
And you're so exact

You think you're a rich man
Now you misbehave
You're not a free man running
Just a comfortable slave

You're so selfish
You got more than you can use, but you still don't see
You're so selfish
And you're running out of fuel

Deeper and deeper
As you forge ahead
You go higher and higher
But you've been misled
Harder and harder
Oh, you grind the stone
Hey, faster, faster, faster
Until you're skin and bones

Too much ambition
Without relief
You know that ain't heaven
But it's what you teach

You're so selfish
You got more than you can use, but you still don't see
You're so selfish
And you're running out of fuel

Who got the answer?
Well, give me the cure
Ow, don't rush to judgement
Until you're sure

You're so selfish
You got more than you can use, but you still don't see
You're so selfish
And you're running out of fuel
So selfish! Look out, brother!

Oh, you're so selfish
You got more than you can use. Yeah
You still don't see
You're so selfish
And you're running out of fuel. Yeah
