Maxi Jazz - "My name is..." (1 Giant Leap | What About Me?)

This is an excerpt of "What About Me?" by 1 Giant Leap. This excerpt features Maxi Jazz.

I recommend watching the complete series at http://whataboutme.tv

"What About Me?" is a musical mash-up showcasing a similarity amongst the world's philosophies and theologies. In particular, egoism.

These clips are taken from "Love & Need"


Here are the Lyrics (best I can figure)

My name is Ego I'll be with you 'till your last breath
Right, here's a small list of all the things that scare me to death
I can't stand things that I can't understand
and I especially hate things I can't command
I don't like the unfamiliar and I've got to be first
but I tell ya, without me you could never be a Mandela
there would be no Muhammad Ali without me

My name is Lust I'm not a real person more like a quality
attach myself behind your eyes temporarily
and blind you to anything you think you might want to be
make you promise me everything for fame, for idolatry
and when I leave you, you can never follow me,
find yourself, come find in solitary, you could never hollow be

My name is Desire, so in you I can feel like pain
attach myself to your brain there to remain until you go insane,
until your head busts, we may have similarities but this ain't Lust,
that's just something that comes and goes away,
Desire hang out with you everyday,
change your perspective in the strangest way,
the strangest...

My name is Pain, I'm not the real person, more like a quality,
attach myself to your life temporarily,
and nearly everybody in the world is afraid of me,
but in reality there would be no self-discovery,
and why would you need to have mercy without me,
for all that you cursed me, you should never forget,
a pain-free life is seldom free of regret


If anyone knows the real lyrics or the name of the tune or where to get it, I'd be interested in knowing. As far as I could discover this song only appears on What About Me? and is actually part of a longer piece that plays throughout the episode.
