I am the laugh of the fool
Thinking that i could win
By breaking all the rules

Letting pride get in my way
Didn't care what i would say
Hide behind guilty disguise

My ego needs me tonight

I know it gets in the way

But without it i'm afraid
To face another day
The satisfaction explodes

Conquering every soul
Someday i want to be king
You'll never know what that means

'cause i'm a man and...

My ego needs me tonight

My ego needs me tonight
My ego needs me tonight
I won't abandon this fight

Don't care who's wrong or what's right
'cause my ego needs me


Addictive pseudo-control
I'll smack you down
If i think you're on a roll

I just can't take that chance
I have to forge my romance
The side i want you to see

Was really made up for me

Can't you understand that


My ego needs me tonight
My ego needs me tonight

My ego needs me tonight
I won't abandon this fight
Protect my wrong from my right

'cause my ego needs me

I won't abandon this fight

Don't care who's wrong or what's right
'cause my ego needs me


You say coward
I say protection
Everybody dances

With their own reflection
Overpower the fragrance
Occupy the fragrance

No compromise
No compromise
No surrender
