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 your so unkind      You don't own me    They've abolished slavery   And I can't wait for the day when things   turn around   You don't own me,    They've abolished slavery   There's conciseness for your actions   I know cause I'm paying for mine now      The piece of paper you have says that you   can get into my pocket   But you can't get inside my heart or my mind or   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
