Helpyourselfish (single)

I've been bounced around
But I'm still standing up
I've been so far down
That my ears they popped
And it was then I knew
By all the wrongs you do
- That if you can't be good - Be careful!
To achieve your happiness
On this terrestial ball..
Gotta have a clean conscience
But even better: None at all!!
But if you can't be good - Be careful yeah!

It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish.
And when your friends begin to loose their way..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish..
Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish...
Through the revolving door on someone elses push
Yeah it's easy to be hard Easy to be hard...

In between those who've got it made
- And those who've got to wait..
Yeah, I'll offer you a chair
But when you sit down - It isn't there!
Always quick to lend a hand
Sorry - Not today I can't...
But I'm always there when I need you - yeah!

It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish.
And when your friends begin to loose their way..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish..
Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish...
Through the revolving door on someone elses push
Yeah it's easy to be hard Easy to be hard...
Yeah, when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now
And when your friends begin to loose their way
Don't look back - just helpyourselfish
Through the revolving door on someone elses push
Yeah, it's easy to be hard Yeah, yeah easy to be hard...

Step into the church of blues
Yeah, where every note is true
We’ve got a noise to lose your pain in
A place to dream away in
After all that you’ve been through

Yeah leave your troubles by the door
And blessed be the chords
We all know that heaven’s waiting
Are you ready for your amen?
Cuz we’re all kings and fools
In everything we do
Inside the church of blues..

We’ve got a prayer for the loud
We’ve got a prayer for the living
We’ve got a prayer for the crowd
We’ve got a prayer for the giving

It’s what the church of blues is about
Yeah we’ve got love and we’ve got it loud
See it’s never growing old
Bless your ears and soul
We’re living rocknroll

I’ll give a sermon you can trust
It’s about a burning bush of lust
Yeah the gift of life is shown
Your soul is still your own
We get to pick our truth
In everything we do
Inside the church of blues

We’ve got a prayer for the loud
We’ve got a prayer for the living
We’ve got a prayer for the crowd
We’ve got a prayer for the giving
We’ve got a prayer for the fans
We’ve got a prayer for the dreamers
We’ve got a prayer for the band
We’ve got a prayer for the screamers

It’s what the church of blues is about
We’ve got a prayer for the loud
