Story Behind The Song
We were not wealthy kids by any stretch of the imagination. we learned how to really love ourselves and our relationships. we all grew up to be successful in our own right and still hold this mentality in our everyday lives. We rebelled against the worlds definitions of success and still do. but of course we have a healthy appreciation for our instruments and things that help us express our rage against the machine.
Song Description
Finding value of self-worth in THINGS is a very misleading to a group of poor suburbanites. It make you want nothing, but you still feel the pressures from the world judging you to have worth and have it be measured by what you own and not who you are. Possession are not the definition of a person, but if they do define you you find yourself feeling like you are not worth much.

Lyrics
Why cant i be my own person
and live my live free of charge
end the pain i get from realizing
that i am just, just like you
'Cause everything i own
Owns Me
And everything i have
Has me
And everyone i love
Hates me
and i cant seem to get things straight
No i cant seem to get things straight
You push all your comforts on me
Tell me that i need money
and live in a big mansion
so that i am just, Just like you!
'Cause everything i own
Owns Me
And everything i have
Has me
And everyone i love
Hates me
and i cant seem to get things straight
No i cant seem to get things straight
Take it all away
Take it all from me
Take it all away
I know what i am and its not what i have
I know what i am and its not what i have
I know what i am and its not what i have
I know what i am and its not what i have!
And everything i own
Owns Me
And everything i have
Has me
And everyone i love
Hates me
and i cant seem to get things straight
No i cant seem to get things straight
