Most Important Person – Audio

Most Important Person – Lyrics

I want two cars in the garage of my house in the suburbs

with some kids in the garden and a pool in the backyard

Respectable job, pretty wife in the kitchen

And sex when I want it

Neighbours who are friendly and won’t get in my way

They’ll come over for bbq’s and our kids will go to play

I’ll always have fine clothes to wear and good food to eat

And I will be the envy of the whole damn street

Cos I’m the most important person in the world

People come round knocking on my door for charity

I say if I look out for them who’ll be looking out for me

I block my ears to preachers who say I’m doing wrong

My mother always told me ‘son look out for number one’

Cos you’re the most important person in the world

I’m bored with the homeless hungry sick and aged

You know it’s not my fault that they got that way

Hard times for everyone they’re going to get worse

It’s a jungle out there you gotta put yourself first
