Selfish Americans

Rotting from the innards out

Another decade, they?re vanishing

What is it to you? What is it to me?

There?s nothing we can do so I?ll just leave it the same

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

Oblivious to the poverty and we?re the ones to blame

Consumers venerate the power to take away

It?s burning ever closer, killing them everyday

The pleasure to disregard it, those children feel the sting

Conversely we forget them with every passing day

They?ll 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

They?ve got nothing our there

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

There?s so much we have, we don?t know what to do

And the answer is already there

Oh, selfish Americans

Oh, selfish Americans

Oh, selfish Americans
