[Verse 1]
This is perilous from the start (Slow down, shift gears)
Another family torn apart (No smiles, just tears)
Now that's every tragedy for the charts (Control the year)
Another character playing a part
(Who do you owe? Who do you work for?)

[Chorus]
I don't owe anything to you
I'm way past the breaking point, it's true
Once there was I time when I thought I had lost it all
But now I see that you can't hurt me

[Verse 2]
You promised everything to the kids
So you could bury them in cement
You underestimated me again
I told the whole world what you did
(I told the whole world what you did)

[Chorus]
I don't owe anything to you
I'm way past the breaking point, it's true
Once there was I time when I thought I had lost it all
But now I see that you can't hurt me

[Bridge]
Funny how the world goes 'round, yeah
And we still try to be still
I will go against the grain
Even if no one else will

[Chorus]
I don't owe anything to you
I'm way past the breaking point, it's true
Once there was I time when I thought I had lost it all
But now I see that you can't hurt me
