Lyrics
Everyone should take a deep breath
Somebody is gonna get hurt
Look at what a tizzy we're in
Kicking with our heels at the dirt
Egos run wild
Egos run strong
We are getting ourselves in trouble
We are getting ourselves in deep
We are getting deeper in the madness
Can we ever tame this selfish streak?
Egos, egos, egos
Everyone should look round the room
Look at all the friends that we have
Why are we so eager to harm
Why is it so hard to be glad?
Egos run hot
Egos run cold
We are hurting everyone around us
We are hurting even ourselves
Why can't we forget about the madness?
Climb our way up out of this hell
Egos, egos, egos
Egos run wild
Egos run strong
We are hurting everyone around us
We are hurting even ourselves
Why can't we forget about the madness?
Climb our way up out of this hell
Egos, egos, egos
