Just A Matter Of Time

I'm like you
You're like me
We are all the same you see
We can do
Anything
We grow into the things we think
I'll treat you
Respectfully
And we can live in harmony
Justice truth
And liberty
That's all it takes to make the dream
The dream
The dream
Are you ready for the dream?

How many times do I have to say
I own my body and life
How many times will you try to take
What I know by right is mine
I love how you try hard to explain
That you have authority
But I think we both know that it's fake
And it's just a matter of time

I own myself
You don't own me
You have no right to make decrees
I don't consent
You know that means
Your rules have no authority
I own myself
And no one else
And I refuse to play your game
If we give in
To violence
Then it will all just stay the same
The same
The same
Do you really want the same?

How many times do I have to say
I own my body and life
How many times will you try to take
What I know by right is mine
I love how you try hard to explain
That you have authority
But I think we both know that it's fake
And it's just a matter of time

We have one life
Let's make it count
We have the power to throw them out
I plant a seed
Just watch it grow
Soon it will knock you off your throne
You shut me up
You take my life
But you can't quench the fire I light
The truth is out
Your time is through
We're moving on to something new

How many times do I have to say
I own my body and life
How many times will you try to take
What I know by right is mine
I love how you try hard to explain
That you have authority
But I think we both know that it's fake
And it's just a matter of time
