As soon as I figured out that you wouldn't be there
As soon as I figured out that you didn't care
I try to do what's right, I try to keep an open mind
I try to do what's right, but you're so unkind
But you don't own me
They've abolished slavery
'Cause I can't wait for the day
When things turn around
But you don't own me
They've abolished slavery
There's consequences for your actions
I know, 'cause I'm paying for mine now
The piece of paper that you've got says you can get into my pocket
But you can't get inside my heart or inside my head
Money doesn't mean to me what it obviously means to you
'Cause I would never steal from kids that don't have a clue
But you don't own me
They've abolished slavery
And I can't wait for the day
When things turn around
But you don't own me
They've abolished slavery
There's consequences for your actions
I know, 'cause I'm paying for mine now
You don't own me
They've abolished slavery
'Cause I can't wait for the day
When things turn around (aaaaah)
But you don't own me (aaaaah)
They've abolished slavery (aaaaah)
There's consequences for your actions (aaaaah)
I know, 'cause I'm paying for mine now
