Today I won't be the one you want me to I'm no ones darling and I'm no ones friend Today I won't be the one you want me to I don't own this system and I don't own this land Today you won't get what you want from me I'm no ones woman and I'm no ones lust Today you won't see what you want in me I won't be here for a while, leave me no trust Today I won't hear any voice but mine All of these made up rules, I'll shut them out Today you won't interfere into my life World keep on turning, yeah, all the way 'round Today I won't be the one you know me as I won't be faithful and I won't be kind Today peace is nowhere, just inside of me I won't be trying to satisfy Today in my quiet grace, I'm gonna riot space If I'm here with all my soul that's the price I pay This erratic system is a static chase Expecting me to go out with a smiling face Separating my rights from the curves I sway Separating my body from the hand I raise The hand I raise, the hand I raise Why do you think that I walk on by for you? It's not a conversation if I answer of fear of you It's not my obligation to be pleasing to you You're hungry for power to use, power to abuse What makes you think you got the right to invade me? Pervade me, diminish and degrade me I'll never let you change me, no I'll never let you change me I say, the hand I raise is my body too, I say The hand I raise is my body too
