Lyrics Property (Live) - Todd Rundgren

I'll be your fantasy
But I won't be your property
Love you eternally
But I'll never be your property
Love from me's not guaranteed
Just because you think I'm property
I can love you totally
And still not be your property
Every girl and boy wants to grow up to be loved someday
You can't wait to give your heart away
But it's like worship in their eyes, walking down the aisle
When you slip on that ring, they start to treat you like a thing, yeah
I call it slavery
When you call someone your property
Don't waste your vanity
I will never be your property
Something wonderful happens when people fall in love
Your happiness is all they're thinking of
But it's like, anything you say 'til the wedding day
When they get it in ink, they start to tell you what to think, yeah
Darkest day in history
When someone invented property
Cause of our misery
Is the constant lust for property
Since God began it
We've been dividing up the planet
When you see something you want it
You've gotta put your name tag on it
And we go on carving
Meanwhile half the world is starving
It's a crime
Hands off what is mine
Take all you can 'til you slam on the parking brake
And you need space to make your own mistakes
But it's like I won't hold you back 'til the bags are packed
Then they're struttin' about like they own you inside out
I'll be your fantasy
But I won't be your property
Love you eternally
But I'll never be your property
Love from me's not guaranteed
Just because you think I'm property
I can love you totally
And still not be your property
I call it slavery
When you call someone your property
Don't waste your vanity
I will never be your property
Darkest day in history
When someone invented property
'Cause of our misery
Is the constant lust for property
