Selfish Son Lyrics - Bloc Party

I took it too far, I took it too far again 

Cut me down 

I took it too far, I took it too far again 

On the Lower East Side 

I took it too far, I took it too far again 

Night bleeds into day 

I took it too far, I took it too far again 

I nearly lost you 

I can be cruel, I can be cruel 

To you 

I can be cruel, I can be cruel 

To you, my love 

Typical me, typical me brother 

Spit the dummy 

Typical me, typical me brother 

The grass is always green 

This city is raised on borrowed time 

Taxi meters, police sirens 

This city is raised on borrowed time 

I nearly lost you 

I can be cruel, I can be cruel 

To you 

I can be cruel, I can be cruel 

To you 

I can be cruel, I can be cruel 

To you 

I can be cruel, I can be cruel 

To you, my love 

Selfish son, selfish brother 

(I can be cruel, I can be cruel) 

Selfish friend, selfish lover 

(To you) 

Selfish son, selfish brother 

(I can be cruel, I can be cruel) 

Selfish life, selfish lover 

(To you) 

Selfish son, selfish brother 

(I can be cruel, I can be cruel) 

Selfish friend, selfish lover 

(To you) 

Selfish son, selfish brother 

(I can be cruel, I can be cruel) 

Selfish life, selfish lover 

(To you, my love)
