I'm like a ghost
I'll be living in a dirt room
Waiting for the day to be closer
To the window when you're home
I'll be standing by your back door
Reaching for the knife in my coat
I'm going to put it to your throat
Sweaty piggy, you're a bad man
What a fucking sad way to go
Your mother raised you as a joke
I should have wiped away a burden
Use the curtain in the kitchen to choke
You
You think you own me
You should have known me
You took the future and the food off my family's plate
You think you'll use me
I'm stronger than you
You take my money, but it's useless
When see what I do to you
Look what I do to you
Oh god then you awoke
You started screaming through the duct tape
Don't ever think I'm letting you go
I'm busy digging you a hole
Now you'll be living in a dirt room
Breathing through the straw of your own
Come on
I really think that this is fun for the money
I'll make it comfy for the time wasted making you rich
I want to cover you in ants, bees and honey
Then take a picture for the cover of our album!
You think you own me
You should have known me
You took the future and the food off my family's plate
You think you'll use me
I'm stronger than you
You take my money, but it's useless
When see what I do to you
You think you own me
You should have known me
You took the future and the food off my family's plate
You think you'll use me
But I'm stronger than you
You take my money, but it's useless
When see what I do to you
And now I see you, oh
'Cause your back's against the wall
And finally you're mine
You're mine
You think you own me
You should have known me
You took the future and the food off my family's plate
You think you'll use me
I'm stronger than you
You take my money, but it's useless
When see what I do to you
I really think that this is fun for the money
We'll make you comfy for the time wasted making you rich
I want to cover you in ants, bees and honey
Then take a picture for the cover of our album!
Justin (lead singer) was asked about the song. He stated that someone took advantage of the band when they were green (no pun intended). This is his way of expressing his anger towards said individual. He also stated that MR in the video is not Mowtown Records but infact an individual who will remain nameless. Which could have meerly been a legal disclaimer.
What a bunch of BS. This song has a Ted Bundy/Silence of the Lambs theme. The video portrayed what they thought the kiddies would like to sell copies period. This is about killing/torturing prostitutes. Welcome to the power of TV brainwashing.
actually the song is addressed to the record company that produces them. "you think you own me, you should have known me, you took the future and the food off my family's plate". this album is a result of contracted work, demanded. and justin was pissed.
I don't think this song is about music piracy. I really doubt that illegal down loading would piss him off that much; most of the money comes from live shows. I think the song is about Motown Records and their greed (explaining the burning $100 bill with MR written on it in the video). I think they took advantage of blue october and sucked away their profits. Justin uses the analogy of a neighborhood thief to represent MR's actions. I really like how the video ends. Every person that the thief stole from stood around to watch him be buried, even police officers. It's justin's way of saying "If you take from us, you WILL pay." Very clever song.
