they don t own me

Richard Ashcroft

Is it true what they say?
Nothing in life is free
Are you looking this way
Surely this can t be

I know that you
Ain t like the other ones
March to a different beat, babe
Banging a different drum

I think I told you before that
They don t
They don t own me
I think I told you before that
They don t
They don t own me

I ain t playing their games
I am nobody s fool
Yeah, I know how it feels
I broke those rules

Are you walking with me?
Or are you running with them?
Are you ever free?
Is this something that you understand?

I think I told you before that
They don t
They don t own me
I think I told you before that
They don t
They don t own me

They don t
They don t own me

Is it really that strange
To try and find some peace?
Is it so opaque
That you still can t see?

Them, right up above
I wonder what they can hear
I guess we all mess up, baby
MM, we re here, then disappear

I think I told you before that
They don t
They don t own me
I think I told you before that
They don t
They don t own me

I think I told you before that
They don t
They don t own me
I think I told you before, yeah
They don t
They don t own me
