I think it's to say to people around her that you don't live in AMERICA. And instead to ''live for something'', they ''live for nothing'' finding their pleasure in pornography, night life and selfish behavior in general (pretty as a picturee). (I knew their were something we never had) meaning that she realize that people are missing something and by ignoring the world (We don't care about the world today) they are not closer to get it and she's not sorry for it (But we're not sorry).
