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
