[Instrumental] [verse] If what we know is to be Always selling Battles and arenas of skill, ideas and wealth People break promises When they don't love themselves Too much pride Afraid to see when they're not chosen by [chorus] But in you There's no talent worth buying It's all for you They tried to take away what was never their's In a gift we give to those we know and care for Gifts aren't a given in an arena Gifts are personal property And we were never meant to be Property [verse] If I'm lesser of a singer Not a dancer or performer an artist or scientist If I don't invent the next chemical compound for life and death I don't need to be exalted for what impresses masses Don't you people understand this isn't the life we deserve to live? If I'm not attractive enough for breeding If I don't pull in a mate My genes don't get to be lesser for the piece of me you hate And if I'm capable of pheromones that lure in every aroma of who wants to be with me Don't make me believe That I'm property [Chorus] But in us There's no talent worth buying It's all for who you are They tried to take away what was never their's In a gift we give to those we know and care for Gifts aren't given in any arena Why do you think trophies look like bodies Gifts are personal property And we were never meant to be Property [pre-chorus] I'm not your property So don't expect that of me I was just a baby And you expected so much of me I don't care for the praise I got The children who lost to me It means nothing At the end You lied to me then And now all I want is honest friends Who don't compete [Chorus] But in me There's no talent worth buying It's all for me They tried to take away what was never their's In a gift we give to those we know and care for Gifts aren't given in any arena Gifts are personal And we were not meant to be Property I will not be your property Get away from me I'm not property
