Selfish Americans Lyrics - Singles - Dogwood

Rotting from the innards out 

Another decade, theyre vanishing 

What is it to you? What is it to me? 

Theres nothing we can do so Ill just leave it the same 

Stolen from our sight and mind, swept under the rug, no shame 

Oblivious to the poverty and were the ones to blame 

Consumers venerate the power to take away 

Its burning ever closer, killing them everyday 

The pleasure to disregard it, those children feel the sting 

Conversely we forget them with every passing day 

Theyll never go away and here we stay 

Oh, selfish Americans 

Oh, selfish Americans 

Oh 

Recognize their plight, take a look at them 

We take from granted our God given freedom 

Theyve got nothing our there 

We need to lend an unselfish hand, commit ourselves to serve 

Theres so much we have, we dont know what to do 

And the answer is already there 

Oh, selfish Americans 

Oh, selfish Americans 

Oh, selfish Americans
