What You Own

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
