[Verse 1]
You may keep me in
In between your walls
Ban me from traveling
And tell me not to sing
And you may have your thoughts
A sketch of who I am
A notion you've conceived
A sight you want to see

[Chorus]
But you don't know me
No, you don't know me

[Verse 2]
You claim to walk in love
Though mercy is your foe
You've already dug a grave
Now you hope I misbehave
You say you know the cause
Of every shattered dream
Even when there's none to blame
You always shout my name

[Chorus]
But I don't owe you
I've never owed you
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
You may keep me hеre
You seem to know just how
To pin me to the ground
Each timе you come around
Take away my home
Obscuring what I am
And plague me all night long
And lay claim to freedom's song

[Chorus]
But you don't own me
No, you don't own me
You don't own me
You don't own me
