Privatize Yourself

It's a song with a political theme, inspired by the election (both Canadian and American). The Canadian election is over, but it's not too late for the Americans.

They can’t take your identity if you keep it to yourself
They can’t steal you away
Are you waiting for a signal, a message from an elf
The time is right today

 

Just say no to corporations
No to global control
All those crazy complications
Pollution of the soul
You’ve got boundaries, you can say no if you please
Now get up off your knees, it’s destiny
Privatize yourself

 

Draw a line in the stone or they’ll chew upon your bones
Move away from home
Bring your friends, hang up the phone, don’t tell them where you’re goin’
It ain’t nobody’s business but your own

 

Don’t ask them where we’re going,
Just refuse to go
Don’t buy what they’re showing
Don’t attend their show
It’s called boundaries, you can have them if you please
Now get up off your knees, it’s destiny
Privatize yourself

 

Who told them to tell me who and how to be
On whose authority
I did not give permission, you know, I was born free
And so were every one of we

 

We say no to corporations, no to global control
All those crazy complications
It’s just pollution of the soul
We’ve got boundaries, we will say no, if you please
We’re standing straight as trees, it’s destiny
Yeah privatize yourselves
