What You Own lyrics

Mark:

Don't breathe too deep

Don't think all day

Dive into work

Drive the other way

That drip of hurt

That pint of shame

Goes away

Just play the game

You're living in America

At the end of the millenium

You're living in America

Leave your conscience at the tone

And when you're living in America

At the end of the millenium

You're what you own

Roger:

The filmmaker cannot see

Mark:

And the songwriter cannot hear

Roger:

Yet I see Mimi everywhere

Mark:

Angel's voice is in my ear

Roger:

Just tighten those shoulders

Mark:

Just clench your jaw til you frown

Roger:

Just don't let go

Both:

Or you may drown

You're living in America

At the end of the millenium

You're living in America

Where it's like the Twilight Zone

And when you're living in America

At the end of the millenium

You're what you own

So I own not a notion

I escape and ape content

I don't own emotion

I rent

Both:

What was it about that night?

Connection

In an isolating age

For once the shadows gave way to light

For once I didn't disengage

Mark:

Angel, I hear you, I hear it

Roger:

Mimi, I see you, I see it

Mark:

I see it, I see it, my film

Roger:

I hear it, I hear it, my song

Mark:

Alexi, Mark

Call me a hypocrite

I need to finish my

Own film

Roger:

One Song Glory

Mimi

Your Eyes!

Mark:

I quit!

Both:

Dying in America

At the end of the millenium

We're dying in America

To come into our own

And when you're dying in America

At the end of the millenium

You're not alone

I'm not alone

I'm not alone
