about

I appreciate that being a musician there have been times when I've had to use government departments to get by, but I can't say they've been the most empowering experiences of my life.

lyrics

Vs1
Oh step back into line
No you are not encouraged to use your mind
We’ll do the walking and we’ll do the talkin for you girl
They were lying when they told you that this is a free world

Ch
But when you fall we’ll help you back on your feet
You’ll be fooled to think that there’s no deceit
And when you’re ready to go your own way
We’ll keep a line on you so you don’t stray
Now tell me who owns you

Vs2
Oh drive on into town
Your circumstance has changed and we need to log it down
Oh things are lookin’ up and you’ve found something new
Just don’t go gorgettin’ that we’ve got our eye on you

Ch
But when you fall we’ll help you back on your feet
You’ll be fooled until you see a receipt
And when you’re ready to go your own way
We’ll keep a line on you so you don’t stray
Now tell me who owns you
Why do you tell me who owns you

Vs3
Oh someday you will see
You can try all you like……but you will never, never own me
