Me, Myself and I Lyrics
Good Samaritans are something I can't stand
Suppressing their own needs to lend a helping hand
Looking out for number one is my only creed
Self-preservation runs deep in my breed
I, me, mine suits me just fine
I won't even give you the time
Go out and buy your own watch
I ask nothing of you but leave me be
Me, myself and I - Only these three apply
Me, myself and I - On these three I rely
Me, myself and I - My only true ally
Me myself and I - I'm greed personified
Thinking of myself is all I ever do
Not a single thought will I waste on you
My only concerns are things pertaining to me
Don't bother trying to find any generosity
I, me, mine suits me just fine
I won't even give you the time
Go out and buy your own watch
I ask nothing of you but leave me be
No charity, no one rides for free
No solicitors, can't you fuckin' read?
Take your social clauses and your empty pleas
Me, myself and I is the only thing for me
I feel like this song was probably a dig at record executives of the time. When this was released in 1992, the thrash/hair metal era was dying out and being replaced by the early alternative rock bands. A lot of this had to do with market saturation - so many crap bands were getting signed to major labels that wanted to milk every last dollar from the popularity of hair metal and thrash that anyone with long hair could get signed. Many of those label execs didn't give a rats ass about the bands, as long as they made money.
