Songtext zu 'Dignity' von Megalomania 999

Well, my friend, is there more you'd like to share about the way to behave?
I turn my cheek, but you complain and say that I should always stand up and fight.

Well - time has come to change your perspective
And see the thin red line
As I said you need to be selfish
But still, you miss the point

Dignity
Dignity - is all it takes
The only way to live among others
is by accepting the rules:
You'll never get respect from your "brother"
Without respecting him, too.

You talk of unity, but all I ever wanted was to step out of line
So, let me ask if you would stop me from pretending I'm one hell of a guy
I need to feel important
I'm jealous everyday
I'm sick and tired of watching young guys with cash and fame
Why can't I live in glory, why can't I have the same?

Dignity
Dignity…is what it takes
If a man's got more than you…..turn your head away
If you want the same as him…..earn it by yourself

I know it may sound confusing
this lesson in dignity:
"Do as you would be done by"
the best way to help yourself

I've always acted selfish
but still I knew the rules:
"If you mess with others
You'll end up getting screwed"
