"Self Seeking Man"

Wright

If there's any justice in the world
Then there's something I've got to say
For all the fools who fend for themselves
For you it's dying day
I've been done out of my money and wealth
And I'm sitting on square one
Trying to get my head together
Waiting for the sun

I tried so hard to win
Sometimes I'd gamble my own life
And anyone who crossed my path
Would never cross it twice
I'd take until there was nothing left
But the odds turned on me
Now I'm down and out again
Deep in misery

I've been a self-seeking man
Self-seeking man
Self-seeking man
Who lived for himself
Who wound up the fool
And got nothing for it

I've been done out of my money and wealth
And I'm sitting on square one
Trying to get my head together
Waiting for the sun

I've been a self-seeking man
Self-seeking man
Self-seeking man
Who lived for himself
Who wound up the fool
And got nothing for it
