Never Own My Soul

Never Own My Soul The Bishop's in the countryside, blessing all who come to hide His medicine is very strong, but something in the serum's wrong He's made a deal to lend a hand, a vision for a greater plan Where you can own most anything The mountain tops, the birds that sing The oceans deep, the twinkles in the sky The sky - the sky - the sky They choke the rivers with cement, bleed the world like sacrament Sell a power that is no power, and push it towards the final hour When everything is in their cloud, and you can shout it right out loud But no one's there, it strikes a fear, the clear channel's all you hear The words of greed, the never ending lies The lies - the lies - hey the lies You put me in a show - You keep me in a dream And you can have it all - And win, or so it seems But you'll never own my soul - You'll never own my soul You'll never own my soul - Never own my soul Our heads are on the chopping block, they come, they ride, they never stop They're listening through my telephone, and now we'll never be alone They own my thoughts, my house, my street They keep you dancin' to the beat Their mantra goes, "You must consume", To keep yourself from doom & gloom While war machines and smoke clouds fill the sky The sky - the sky - hey the sky What you don't know - what could never be Something beyond everything you see
