They Own You

lyrics

You used to think that, you used to think that,
You owned them but they own you
(You own them, but they own you)
Who has a lighter 'cause I need to smoke,
Our city crumbles & its kids we provoke,
Children are rising and they’re..

4 foot 3 with a knife, I know
Baby hands plunge it in your throat
The last memory you will hold
They’re little,
But they bite
They’re little,
& we taught them how to fight.

You used to think that, you used to think that,
A human spine couldn't rip in two,
(you own them, but they own you)
If we could just get the upper hand on our kin,
You couldn’t imagine the trouble they’d be in,
Children are rising and they’re…

4 foot 3 with a knife, I know
Baby hands plunge it in your throat
The last memory you will hold
They’re little,
But they bite
They’re little,
& we taught them how to fight.

TAUGHT THEM STRAIGHT
TAUGHT THEM STRAIGHT

They own you
They own you
My god, let the little bitch through
Let the little bitch through

You used to think that, you used to think that
Obedience would save your skin,
Now your kid floats in a pool of sin,
How did this killer begin?
Must have been that night with the boxing and gin
Can we pull over, there’s a knife in my throat?
Children are rising and they’re…

4 foot 3 with a knife, I know
Baby hands plunge it in your throat
The last memory you will hold
They’re little,
But they bite
Eeeee
They’re little,
& we taught them how to fight..

You own them, but they own you…..
But they own you
They Own You
