Lyrics

Can't Own You

Wait for the light to change again
Psyche yourself up for the battle
Your whole life is ruled by time

Approach the place where the zombies work
You know they're gonna make you feel like a jerk
Will you ever own your time?

You punch the clock, you're hassled, someone's in your face
You're made to feel like a piece of human waste
Don't you breathe because you don't fit
In with the mindless mass
Who's brains are lodged in their ass

You need the money, follow orders every day
It's gonna be you who'll have the final say
They pay you money, it's true, but they can't own you
Oh no, they can't own you

We can do it; we can do it faster, if you really try
"If you're working faster, then work faster" is their battle cry

You gotta take it 'cause times are tough
Even though you know you're meant for better stuff
And you're not with them, you don't fit
In with the mindless mass
Who's brains are lodged in their ass

They tell you to hold what you feel inside
And what you think is something that you should hide
They pay you money it's true, but they can't own you
Oh no, they can't own you
No no no no

They tell you you'll never get anywhere
Raise yourself up, if you really care
Do it for yourself, so they can't own you
