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 unkindBut 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 conciseness for your actions
I know 'cause I'm paying for mine nowThe piece of paper you got
Says you can get into my pocket
But you can't get inside my heart
Or inside my headMoney doesn't mean to me
What it obviously means to you
'Cause I would never steal from kids
That don't have a clueBut 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 conciseness for your actions
I know 'cause I'm paying for mine nowBut 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 conciseness for your actions
I know cause I'm paying for mine now
