What's in it for me?

What's in it for me?
Yeah, what's my gain?
I wanna feel different,
yet remain the same.

What's in it for me?
Yeah, divert from loss.
Never once questioning
just who's the boss?

Mechanical outcomes:
zero and one.
If not my way,
then I choose none!

What's in it for me?
Yeah, that's my block.
We say that's freedom,
but that's our flock.

Fly toward pleasure,
flee from pain.
Everybody else
they do the same.

What's in it for me?
Why should I move?
That's the burden
I demand you prove.

What's in it for you?
Yeah, what's your gain?
Compare and compete
for power and fame.

Zealous jealous--
that poisoned itch:

I can't stand to see you rich!

Yet before long,
it's all just dust.
Who keeps the time
by moth and rust?

What's in it for me?
Yeah, that's my greed.
A viral, crippling,
heart disease.

What's in it for me?
That's my decay.
Half life. No life.
Waste away.

What's in it for me?
What's in it for you?
The gain and loss
obstruct the view.

What's in it for me?
Don't answer that.
No thought of gain:

Authentic.

Act.
