You will not own me You cannot hold me We are broken and beaten down A bitter breed now Welcome to the new age Where we drape the pain And we ache for the days Where the world was a better place We seem to be torn between The future and the past But the past is just a memory The free enslaved No voice, no soul We are machines (You cannot hold me down) Are we too blind to see They took the light from our eyes and told us to believe You will not own me Cannot hold me down I am not your machine Broken and beaten down A dying breed now You want to take my life from me Control and divide Feel the air with your lies Til there’s nothing left to breathe We seem to be torn between A lifetime of fear and a fight for humanity It’s time the free ignite One voice, one soul We rise and fight, fight, fight You will not own me You cannot hold me down Are we too blind to see They took the light from our eyes and told us to believe You will not own me Cannot hold me down I am not your machine Not your machine, not your machine Drop, not your machine
