Rotting from the innards out Another decade and 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-OH-oH} Selfish Americans {Oh-OH-oH} Selfish Americans {Oh-OH-oH} Recognize their plight Take a look at them We take for 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's already there {Oh-OH-oH} Selfish Americans {Oh-OH-oH} Selfish Americans {Oh-OH-oH} Selfish Americans
