Looking ‘round this room
I see amazing gorgeous folks
Wearing fabulous makeup
And spectacular clothes
There’s only one way to show
This fashionable stamina
If you have a phone
With a front-facing camera

Why the fuck
Are you not
Taking a
Selfie right now
Find some good
Lighting and
Angles to
Make ‘em say wow
Do it right now
Literally right now

I know folks say that selfies
are millennial vanity
Like how dare you appreciate
Your own confidence and beauty?
Self-love is not a sickness
Shitting on it’s not a cure
Also yeah I’ll post a picture
On a website made for pictures

Why the fuck
Are you not
Taking a
Selfie right now
Don’t let the
Hatred of
Insecure
Men slow you down
So do it right now
[ramble about how you should take a selfie right now. really, go ahead, lyric reader. don't think you escaped my notice.]

There’s a million different reasons
People like to take a selfie
Maybe it’s the one good part
Of a day that has been crappy
Maybe the lighting looks good
With the position of the sun
Or here’s a wild concept
Maybe it’s just fucking fun

I know what it’s like to feel like
I’m not beautiful enough
Or like I don’t have it together
Or other mental illness stuff
But I’m here to tell you
From the bottom of my heart
Even when you don’t feel beautiful
You are still art

So why the fuck
Are you not
Taking a
Selfie right now
Love yourself
Recklessly
I promise
You are allowed
Hashtag it
Facebook it
Tweet it or
Just scream it loud
And if you do
Hashtag it with
#WhyTheFuckAreYouNotTakingASelfieRightNow
I will go like it
I am not joking

Why the fuck
Are you not
Taking a
Selfie right now
