You say you're feeling like you're sinking

And the quicksand's almost on top

Or you're trying to land a broken airplane

And the landing gear's totally shot

You say that no one understands you

As you spit another four-letter-word

And it's almost like you're underwater

And you're drowning just like you deserve

And they can all make-believe that it's just about to happen

They will never fucking own you

No they won't

They will never fucking own you

They can try

They will never fucking own you

Cause it's your turn to testify

Yes it is

You say you stand on pins and needles

And the frying pan is on fire

And you're just trying to get a fucking word in

As they load you on the funeral pyre

Well they tell you that life is an adventure

And you get back what you put in

But it feels like you're only treading water

And the sharks already feeding again

And they can all make-believe that it's just about to happen

They will never fucking own you

No they won't

They will never fucking own you

They can try

They will never fucking own you

Cause it's your turn to testify
