Elie & the Engine - What I Am Lyrics

I don't need rights to justify who I am
I'm a sovereign woman I'm a sovereign man
Not a legal entity created by your laws
I am not a rebel and I'm not without a cause

I'm a sovereign woman I'm a sovereign man
I'm addicted to freedom that's what I am
I'm a sovereign woman I'm a sovereign man
I don't need you to tell me what I am

You where born into this world dependent on your kin
Dependent on the love that they felt deep within
Now you depend on government and industry too
Destined to conform and regulate you

I'm a sovereign woman I'm a sovereign man
I'm addicted to freedom that's what I am
I'm a sovereign woman I'm a sovereign man
I don't need you to tell me what I am

One, two
One, two, three, four

I don't need to be governed
I don't want to fooled
I know my purpose in life
And it's not to be ruled
Not to be ruled

I'm a sovereign woman I'm a sovereign man
I'm addicted to freedom that's what I am
I'm a sovereign woman I'm a sovereign man
I don't need you to tell me what I am
