"What You Own"

[whitealbumdisk1]

Don't breathe too deep
Don't think all day
Dive into work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
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 one the shadows gave way to light)
For once I didn't disengage

Angel I hear you
Mimi I see you
I see my film
I hear my song

Alexi, Mark
(One song glory)
Call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my own film
(Mimi, your eyes)
I quit!

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
