Selfish Americans (Seismic Album Version)

Selfish Americans (Seismic Album Version) - Dogwood

Rotting from the innards out

Another decade and they're vanishing

What is it to you

What is it to me

Theres 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 were 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

Selfish Americans

Selfish Americans

Recognize their plight

Take a look at them

We take to granted our god given freedom

They've got nothing our there

We need to lend an unselfish hand

Commit ourselves to serve

Theres so much we have

We don't know what to do

And the answer is already there

Selfish Americans

Selfish Americans
