Ego



What happened to my ego?
My ego's got too big,
I need to hog the limelight,
I wanna own this gig,
Some geezer wants to hog my mic,
I'll grant him one song if he likes,
If he cocks up he's on his bike,
Or one more song he takes a hike,
People rush to watch me play and sing,
As I grip the neck and pound my....
'Four string',
I pick pump powered bass licks,
I'm the thing,
I am the king,
Don't stand in my narcissistic space,
'cause I'm the Trace..Elliot of sound,
I'm the man in town,
The man to be around,
I should have made the big time,
You just don't understand,
Watching is deceptive,
I have commitments,
I'm just a bassman in a cover band,
Oh god,
What happened to my ego?
