Selfish Songtext
von Zoe Sky Jordan

My mom got famous
Writing a song about me
How I was born on the last day of her 20s
Decades after the feminists won
Women do whatever they want
As long as you′re thin and the house is clean
You can be whoever you want to be
Supermarkets lined with choices
In her head as many voices
And the face of that pretty housewife
Who asked who tucks me in at night
You can be
Celebrated
Tolerated
And everything to everyone


Now I'm
I′m next in line
With one chance at this life
Is it alright
To want something that's just mine?
Cause I
Call that having a life
Call that knowing what I like
I can't help it
If you call it Selfish

Wanting nothing makes you useless to men
Who trade your youth and your time
For their children
Love and desire can interchange
Just like the bitch and the whore and the saint
I′m introducing myself like a stranger
After seeing my body in the mirror
Down to the dollar I know what it′s worth
I'm going to cash out while it still works

Yeah I
Want to see eye to eye
Fall in love and have free time
Is it alright
To want something I can′t buy?
Cause I
Call that having a life
Call that knowing what I like
I can't help it
If you call it selfish
