lyrics

My hackles rose up from the moment you walked in
Who shows up knowing no one and then wants all eyes on them?
But I thought you were harmless, just drunk and kind of loud
Why’d you have to prove me wrong by running your damn mouth?

My independence ain’t your business
So watch out how you speak
Talking about your freedoms
While you’re part of the machine
And you’re so damn ironic
In that standard-issue crown
You talk of independence?
Yours is nowhere to be found

Has anyone ever agreed when you insulted them?
Has your condescending tone made you many friends?
Well, sweetheart, you’re in my world now and that ain’t how it works
I won’t be saying sorry when you get your feelings hurt

My independence ain’t your business
So watch out how you speak
Talking about your freedom
While you’re part of the machine
And you’re so damn ironic
In that standard-issue crown
You talk of independence?
Yours is nowhere to be found

Don’t act like you’re the victim here when you’re the one that picked the fight
‘Cause I don’t start them but I’ll end ‘em and I win every time

So watch out how you speak
You’re just part of the machine

My independence ain’t your business
So watch out how you speak
Talking about your freedom
While you’re part of the machine
And you’re so damn ironic
In that standard-issue crown
You talk of independence?
Yours is nowhere to be found

Little miss independent
Well she’s nowhere to be found
