Devon selfish girl lyrics

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
