Do you own it, or do you owe on it
Do you own it, or does it own you?
Let’s get down to the facts of it.
What about the tax on it?
Do you own it, or does it own you?
Is that your car, does it belong to the savings & loan?
Is that your house, or you just calling it home?
Do you own those clothes, have you paid for them yet?
Face it friends, we’re too far in debt.
Do you own it, or does it own you?
Borrow, lend, speculate,
It all breaks down to the interest rate
Is it trust, or lust for the equity
That entices us to live beyond our means?
Fulfilling someone else’s dream
While they’re vamping all our energy
Do you thank the banks for your destiny?
Do you own it, or does it own you?
I was born unto my mother
Not a church, state or nation
I'll strive one way or another
to avoid a warring taxation
I won’t subscribe to intimidation
By technological proliferation
Without responsible dedication
Do you own it, or do you owe on it?
Do you own it, or does it own you?
Let’s get down to the facts of it.
What about the tax on it?
Do you own it?
