Lookin' After No. 1

Lyrics

The world owes me a living
 I've waited on this dole queue too long
 I've been standing in the rain for fifteen minutes
 That's a quarter of an hour too long
 I'll take all they can give me
 And then I'm gonna ask for more
 'Cause the money's buried deep in the bank of England
 And I want the key to the vault
 I'm gonna take your money
 Count your loss when I'm gone
 I'm alright, Jack
 I'm lookin' after number one
 If I want something, I get it
 Don't matter what I have to do
 I'll step on your face, on my mother's grave
 Never underestimate me I'm nobody's fool
 I don't owe nobody nothing
 'Cause it's me that must come through
 Why don't you stop, think, look, babe
 I always get what I want and I wanna get you
 I'm gonna take your money
 Count your loss when I'm gone
 I'm alright, Jack
 I'm lookin' after number one
 I don't wanna be like you
 I don't wanna live like you
 I don't wanna talk like you, at all
 Number one
 Don't give me love thy neighbour
 Don't give me charity
 Don't give me peace and love or the good lord above
 You only get in my way with your stupid ideas
 I am an island
 Entire of myself
 And when I get old, older than today
 I'll never need anybody's help in any way
 I'm gonna take your money
 Count your loss when I'm gone
 I'm alright, Jack
 I'm lookin' after number one
 I don't wanna be like you
 I don't wanna live like you
 I don't wanna talk like you, whoo, whoo
 I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like
 I'm gonna be like me
