Property Lyrics

  I'll be your fantasy, but I won't be your property
  Love you eternally, but I'll never be your property
  Love from me's not guaranteed
  Just because you think I'm property
  I can love you totally and still not be your property

  Every girl and boy wants to grow up to be loved someday
  And you can't wait to give your heart away
  But it's like worship in their eyes walking down the aisle
  When you slip on that ring, they start to treat you like a thing, yeah

  I call it slavery when you call someone your property
  Don't waste your vanity, I will never be your property

  Something wonderful happens when people fall in love
  Your happiness is all they're thinking of
  But it's like "anything you say" 'til the wedding day
  When they get it in ink, they start to tell you what to think, yeah

  Darkest day in history when someone invented property
  Cause of our misery is the constant lust for property

  Since god began it, we've been dividing up the planet
  When you see something you want it
  You've got to put your name tag on it
  And we go on carving, meanwhile half the world is starving
  It's a crime .. hands off what is mine!

  Take all you can 'til you slam on the parking brake
  And you need space to make your own mistakes
  But it's like "I won't hold you back" 'til the bags are packed
  Then they're struttin' about like they own you inside out

  I call it slavery (you can't make me a slave),
    when you call someone your property
  Don't waste your vanity (don't be so vain), 
    I will never be your property
  Darkest day in history (why did you have to do a thing like that)
    when someone invented property
  Cause of our misery (misery, misery)
    is the constant lust for property
