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 dont 
have a clue
