Charles Manson - Ego
[Intro]
It's Ein, side. It's in the back
The front, no it's in the back
No it's in the front, no it's in the back
They shoved it in the back, they put it in the back
EAll the love in the back in the back
All the love in the back, get in the back boy
And they call it your subconscious
ERemember Freud
In the front is your computer
And I call him
[Chorus]
EOld ego is a too much thing
Old ego is a too much thing
 EHe'll make you Afool yourself, you'll think you're somebody else
 AThey got the Ewhole subway train
EMakes you want to jump on up there an' fight
And you can't stand left to your right
EHe'll make you Alie, make you cheat, jus' so you won't be beat
 AHe'll make you Eget on outta sight
[Bridge]
EYou get afraid you gonna, act like a clown
And you get mad when somebody puts you down
BYour heart's a-pumpin' and you Apan-heart's a-jumpin'
Look out Eego is a too much thing
EWhen everything seems goin' so fine, old ego puts itself on a bind
Your cert'ty Aturns to doubt, then you start flippin' out
Then you Eease on out of your mind
[Outro]
E

Charles Manson - Ego

[Intro]

It's in, side. It's in the back

The front, no it's in the back

No it's in the front, no it's in the back

They shoved it in the back, they put it in the back

All the love in the back in the back

All the love in the back, get in the back boy

And they call it your subconscious

Remember Freud

In the front is your computer

And I call him

[Chorus]

Old ego is a too much thing

E A

He'll make you fool yourself, you'll think you're somebody else

A E

They got the whole subway train

Makes you want to jump on up there an' fight

And you can't stand left to your right

E A

He'll make you lie, make you cheat, jus' so you won't be beat

A E

He'll make you get on outta sight

[Bridge]

You get afraid you gonna, act like a clown

And you get mad when somebody puts you down

B A

Your heart's a-pumpin' and you pan-heart's a-jumpin'

Look out ego is a too much thing

When everything seems goin' so fine, old ego puts itself on a bind

Your cert'ty turns to doubt, then you start flippin' out

Then you ease on out of your mind

[Outro]
