ABC of NPD

[Verse 1]
A is for Apathy, a cold, empty stare,
B is for Bragging, they take every share.
C is for Credit, never yours, always theirs,
D is for Disguise, empathy’s rare.

Fake smiles, feigned care,
Their gain is the only fare.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Narcissist’s Cabaret,
Where ego’s high and empathy’s astray.
See the traits that they display,
Learn the signs and walk away!

[Verse 2]
E is for Ego, a towering might,
F is for Fantasies, that never take flight.
G is for Grandiose, never wrong in their sight,
H is for Hollow, craving praise every night.

Exaggerating success, they always impress,
In the mirror, they’re forever obsessed.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Narcissist’s Cabaret,
Where ego’s high and empathy’s astray.
See the traits that they display,
Learn the signs and walk away!

[Verse 3]
I is for Interests, they’ll always scheme,
J is for Jealousy, stealing your dream.
K is for Knives, in your back they gleam,
L is for Lies, truths they demean.

Gossip and deceit, their tools of the trade,
Beware of the games that they’ve played.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Narcissist’s Cabaret,
Where ego’s high and empathy’s astray.
See the traits that they display,
Learn the signs and walk away!

[Verse 4]
M is for Mocking, they’ll cut you down,
N is for Nerves, they’re kings of the frown.
O is for Others, always to blame,
P is for Pouting, it’s all just a game.

Criticism sparks their defensive fire,
Blaming others fuels their desire.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Narcissist’s Cabaret,
Where ego’s high and empathy’s astray.
See the traits that they display,
Learn the signs and walk away!

[Verse 5]
Q is for Quest, for their own gain,
R is for Reckless, ethics in vain.
S is for Selfish, the team they’ll disdain,
T is for Tactics, accountability’s feigned.

Their choices self-serving, ethics they bend,
Team and morals, they’ll offend.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Narcissist’s Cabaret,
Where ego’s high and empathy’s astray.
See the traits that they display,
Learn the signs and walk away!

[Verse 6]
U is for Us, cliques they will form,
V is for Vanity, twisting the norm.
W is for Wiles, their cultural storm,
X, Y, Z—beware their swarm!

Cliques that divide, vanity’s pride,
In their world, no one else can reside.

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Narcissist’s Cabaret,
Where ego’s high and empathy’s astray.
See the traits that they display,
Learn the signs and walk away!

[Outro]
So, dear leaders, heed this cue,
Check these traits, be kind and true.
Empathy and kindness pave the way,
Lead with heart, don’t let them sway.
