The More We Possess the Less We Own of Ourselves

The More We Possess the Less We Own of Ourselves - Brett Anderson

Baby thought she really needed that sofa

Baby thought she really wanted that dress

Baby thought she really had to have two cars

Baby thought she really had to say yes

But the more she possessed

The more she'd slide into debt

And the more she possessed

The less she owned of herself

Baby thought she really needed that hairstyle

Baby thought she really had to say yes

Baby really needed acres of carpets

Thought she'd be happy if she had larger breasts

Everybody said you can't live without them

Everybody said you have to say yes

So baby spent her everything on this lifestyle

But it's a lifestyle that doesn't exist

And the more she possessed

The more she'd slide into debt

And the more she possessed

The less she owned of herself

Yes the more we possess

The more we are in debt

And the more we possess

The less we own of ourselves
