From the recording Decisions
Lyrics
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me
Oh yea
Gotta get away, I wish that I could fly
Sometimes I wish that I could runaway and hide
Don’t wanna let me do the things I like to do
I need to breathe I need to get away from you
Whenever my friends call you tell them I’m not home
So then I sneak outside so I won’t be alone
Give up the power trip your life is such a bore
Erase the face that’s in the place that is no more
(You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me ) x4
Oh yea
Sometimes the guilt you feel you make me feel it too
The blame, the shame, it’s all the same you make me puke
Open your eyes and look inside at what you fear
Your insecurity will make me disappear
Look forward to the time when I’ll be on my own
So far away from here some place to call my home
My life and sacrifice so easily ignored
You’ll see I’ll be the one that’s heading for the door
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t
You can’t control me!
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me
(You can’t, you can’t, you can’t control me
No you don’t, you don’t own me ) x6
You! Yea you! You cant control me you! Yea you!
