[Verse 1]
Saturday morning
Ash in my cereal bowl
News on the plasma
Selling me panic and polls
Big red buttons
Tiny little printed lies
Clowns in neckties
Pointing at the sky
[Chorus]
We’re just gummy bears and gasoline
Colorful kids in a crooked machine
Laugh while it burns in a shiny screen
Can’t tell me what to be
You can’t tell me what to be
Flip your script
I’ll flip your throne
Turn your slogan into stone
Gummy bears and gasoline
You don’t own me
[Verse 2]
They draw their heroes
In capes of party blue
Say it’s for safety
But it smells like revenue
Sticker on my window
Says “trust us
We’re your friends”
I see the fine print
Freedom in the past tense
[Chorus]
We’re just gummy bears and gasoline
Colorful kids in a crooked machine
Laugh while it burns in a shiny screen
Can’t tell me what to be
You can’t tell me what to be
Flip your script
I’ll flip your throne
Turn your slogan into stone
Gummy bears and gasoline
You don’t own me (oh no)
[Bridge]
I’m not your hashtag
I’m not your vote
I’m not the punchline
In your cartoon show
I’m sick of sermons
From faces on a feed
I’ll draw my own world
Watch me color it free (hey!)
[Chorus]
We’re just gummy bears and gasoline
Colorful kids in a crooked machine
Laugh while it burns in a shiny screen
Can’t tell me what to be
You can’t tell me what to be
Flip your script
I’ll flip your throne
Turn your slogan into stone
Gummy bears and gasoline
You don’t own me
You don’t own me (yeah)
You don’t own me
