Owned

You lead me up the stairs
You lead me down again
This is not the end

Too up, too down to dwell
This is a prison cell
But this is not the end

And there are others here
They sleep on top of me
This is not the end

Playing endless monopoly
We’re the worthless property
This is not the end

Owned
Owned, previously owned
Owned
Owned, you have been owned

It’s a hundred years from now
This is a burial ground
But this is not the end

Buildings disintegrate
Under an awful weight
But this is not the end

And in a thousand years
No one remembers you
But this is not the end

Nothing is valuable
London is arable
But this is not the end

Owned
Owned, previously owned
Owned
Owned, you have been owned

Owned
Owned, previously owned
Owned
Owned, you have been owned
Owned
Owned, previously owned
Owned
Owned, you have been owned
