Selfish Girl Lyrics - Singles - Devon

I am what I hate 

Now I hate who I am 

I torture animals 

So I can have shiny, bouncy hair 

Blinding rats and rabbits 

So my mascara is safe to wear 

I pay children seven cents an hour 

To make my designer jeans 

Nine years old, sixteen hours 

Behind those sewing machines 

And it doesn't seem to bother me 

I am only concerned with my personal needs 

And it doesn't occur to me 

That everything I do 

Affects something, someone, somewhere out there 

In the world 

I'm a selfish girl 

I throw away more food in a day 

Than most people eat in a week 

I allow myself the luxury of starving 

Because thin is in, and I have the choice 

I stand by allowing crime to happen 

Cause I don't want to strain my voice 

I don't want to get involved 

Because, hey, it's not my problem to solve 

And it doesn't seem to bother me 

I am only concerned with my personal needs 

And it doesn't occur to me 

That everything I do 

Affects something, someone, somewhere out there 

In the world 

I'm a selfish girl 

There are so many things wrong in the world 

It's hard to not be part of the problem 

But I have to be responsible 

I have to bear the blame 

Because everywhere I turn 

I am causing someone else's pain 

I don't want to cause anybody else's pain 

And it definitely bothers me 

That I've only been concerned with my personal needs 

And it finally occurred to me 

That everything I do 

Affects something, someone, somewhere out there 

In the world 

I don't want to be a selfish girl 

I just take, take, take, take, take, take 

From this world 

I don't want to be a selfish girl 

I don't want to be a selfish girl
