lyrics

you don't own me
and though you might want
to you never will
you don't scare me
and your macho insecurity
will never fill
the hole in your heart
carved out by a society
based on fear
of being different
instead of unity
where we all persevere

you won't see me
exploiting other people
just to get rich
you won't hear me
calling my brother a faggot
or my sister a bitch
'cause we should not judge
a person by their body
but how they use their mind
stop the hate and violence
let's respect each other and we'll
see what we can find

the powers that be
don't want you and me
standing together for
what we believe
so they try to divide us
with borders and things
but that can't change the fact
that we're all human beings

don't put me down
just 'cause i'm different
doesn't mean that i'm not human
don't bring me down
from birth everyone deserves
the same love and respect
we all were born
into this world
kicking and screaming
and we won't stop
not until everyone has
everything they're needing
