What You Own Lyrics

Don't breathe too deep, don't think all day
Dive into work, drive the other way
That drip of hurts, that pint of shame
Goes away, just play the gameYou're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the toneAnd when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you ownThe filmmaker cannot see
And the songwriter cannot hear
Yet I see Mimi everywhere
Angel's voice is in my earJust tighten those shoulders
Just clench your jaw till you frown
Just don't let go or you may drownYou're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Where it's like the Twilight ZoneAnd when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium

You're what you ownSo I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion, I rentWhat was it about that night
What was it about that night
Connection in an isolating age
For once the shadows gave way to light
For once the shadows gave way to lightFor once I didn't disengage
Angel, I hear you, I hear it
I see it, I see it, my film
Mimi I see you, I see it
I hear it, I hear it, my songAlexi, Mark
Call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my own film, I quit
One song glory, Mimi, your eyesDying in America
At the end of the millennium
We're dying in America
To come into our ownAnd when you're dying in America
At the end of the millennium
You're not alone
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
