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 game
You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're living in America Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America At the end of the millennium You're what you own
The filmmaker cannot see And the songwriter cannot hear Yet I see Mimi everywhere Angel's voice is in my ear
Just tighten those shoulders Just clench your jaw till you frown Just don't let go or you may drown
You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're living in America Where it's like the Twilight Zone
And when you're living in America At the end of the millennium You're what you own
So I own not a notion I escape and ape content I don't own emotion, I rent
What 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 light
For 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 song
Alexi, Mark Call me a hypocrite I need to finish my own film, I quit One song glory, Mimi, your eyes
Dying in America At the end of the millennium We're dying in America To come into our own
And when you're dying in America At the end of the millennium You're not alone I'm not alone, I'm not alone
