easily the best song i've heard all year. i feel so lucky to stumble upon your music

Of course ethical egoism works-- why shouldn't it work?

Lyrics:

I do what I want when I want to do it
I kill if I'm ill, if it gets me through it
I smoke all the drugs and I have my babies
I take what I don't have and I waste what you give me

I do what I want when I want to do it
If no one looks, then cook the books
Ayn Rand made me do it
Red ticker and you've lost it all for your family
I take what I don't have; it doesn't mean shit to me

And isn't this just how things go?
You lecture the sinners
But forgive the winners if they have enough to show
And who needs other people anyway?
Oh, merciless is power
Weakness is a coward without even a voice to say...

I do what I want when I want to do it
And sung not long your nubile song
I'll help you to sing through it
Well-respected, privileged man...
What have you done?
You gave them all of your love
And they turn and they turn and they...

Isn't this just how things go?
You lecture the sinners
But forgive the winners if they have enough to show
And who needs other people anyway?
Oh, merciless is power
Weakness is a coward without even a voice to say...

I DO WHAT I WANT

I do what I want when I want to do it
I do what I want
I do what I want when I want to do it
I do what I want
I do what I want when I want to do it
And who needs other people anyway?
I do what I want when I want to do it
I do what I want
I DO WHAT I WANT
I DO WHAT I WANT
I DO WHAT I WANT
I DO WHAT I...


i do what i want when i want

From "A Trick of Physics," out NOW on @subviolet
zerotep.bandcamp.com/album/a-trick-of-physics

'A Trick of Physics,' the third full-length from Zero Tep, is a retrofuture melt of jazz fusion, footwork patterns, and late-night Moog jams. Inspired by natural phenomena (the "everyday psychedelic") and library music, 'A Trick of Physics' is a compositional dive into the beautiful and exotic.
