Lyrics

Narcissus

Used to be high-flying
Now
He just likes crying
Wolf
And thinks
He’s Steve McQueen

Projects himself onto the screen
Scales the walls to save us all
So mere mortals can be oh so grateful to him

He likes to contribute
He likes to do his bit
Develop the third world
As a sex tourist

Narcissus will take control
Narcissus will save us all
If the world is sick
He’ll fix it with his politics

Now he glues himself to walls
Thinks he represents us all
He’s a symbol of
His own giant ego

On paper most aware
Of all disparities
But who cares?
When between the sheets
You’re king
Of a nice young thing?

Narcissus will take control
Narcissus will save us all
If the world is sick
He’ll fix it with his tiny pr*ck

Now watch Narcissus lean over his own reflection
Now watch Narcissus blow himself a kiss of benediction

He avoids austerity
By defrauding charities
You don’t need technology
When you’ve got a giant ego

The press and the rest of us
Ought to laud and applaud him
To impress his young daughter
He’s gonna walk on water

Narcissus will take control
Narcissus will save us all
If the world is sick
He’ll fix it with his rhetoric

Narcissus will save the earth
Narcissus knows what it’s worth
He’s a bean counter, after all
Bean counter
