Manumission

Driving in my car, feeling under pressure to get it right,
Then you tell me I'm speeding, now I've gone too far
You roll your eyes, just sit there
Don't care, you don't have time to empathise
How, can I make you see , what you do to me
Why, won't you let me go, thought that you would know

Why does every move that I make
Seem to be the wrong move to make
I can't believe, it will get much better
Don't know how much more I can take
Don't know how much more I will take
But I won't take it for too much longer

You keep making me stand to attention
You tell me what to do
You're still treating me like your possession
I don't belong to you
Watch me, try Manumission
Yeah I've had it
Now I'm gonna please me

Sitting in a bar, get a little drunk I'm having fun
Then you tell me we're leaving, you say I've gone too far
I get a call, you accuse me
Who's he, you won't believe me at all
Who, do you think you are, Huh!, some kind of star
What, would it take to show you what you should know

Why does every move that I make
Seem to be the wrong move to make
I need to make a move and find my way home
Don't know how much more I can take
Don't know how much more I will take
Now it's time to take it all on my own

You keep making me stand to attention
You tell me what to do
You're still treating me like your possession
I don't belong to you
Do you really think I need permission 
You patronise my life I can't believe the words you're saying
I'm fed up of your faking
You keep making me stand to attention
I've had enough of you
You're still treating me like your possession 
I don't belong to you
Watch me, try Manumission
I've had it
Now I'm gonna please me

How how how how how, do I let you push me around
Why, do you hold me down
Who are you to choose what I do
All the time, hey yeah
When will you see, believing in me
Is not a crime

You keep making me stand to attention
You tell me what to do
You're still treating me like your possession
I don't belong to you
Do you really think I need permission 
You patronise my life I can't believe the words you're saying
I'm fed up of your faking
You keep making me stand to attention
I've had enough of you
You're still treating me like your possession 
I don't belong to you
Watch me, try Manumission
I've had it
Now I'm gonna please me
