I am the laugh of the fool
Thinking that I could win
By breaking all the rules
Letting pride get in my way
Didnt care what I would say
Hide behind guilty disguise
My ego needs me tonight
I know it gets in the way
But without it Im afraid
To face another day
The satisfaction explodes
Conquering every soul
Someday I want to be king
Youll never know what that means
Cause Im a man and…
My ego needs me tonight
My ego needs me tonight
My ego needs me tonight
I wont abandon this fight
Dont care whos wrong or whats right
Cause my ego needs me
Addictive pseudo-control
Ill smack you down
If I think youre on a roll
I just cant take that chance
I have to forge my romance
The side I want you to see
Was really made up for me
Cant you understand that
My ego needs me tonight
My ego needs me tonight
My ego needs me tonight
I wont abandon this fight
Protect my wrong from my right
Cause my ego needs me tonight
I wont abandon this fight
Dont care whos wrong or whats right
Cause my ego needs me
You say coward
I say protection
Everybody dances
With their own reflection
Overpower the fragrance
Occupy the flower
No compromise
No compromise
No surrender
