Commodity Lyrics
I-I've been a wonder girl under the gun And like you I was a runner with nowhere to run But my freedom is a mother and right now she's back To stay for a while
I-I've had enough of me playing the fool Oh I see the smile you're faking And I'm breaking ground every day now And you should know
If you're making my love a commodity I'm afraid that you might have mistaken me Now the ocean's burning But I will sooth the flame
I-I got a message from over the moon Now I know I got the fire to conquer the gloom
I am young and I am burning I am every name in a no one's space
'I wrote this at a time when many record labels were approaching me and wanting to make me a commodity rather than letting me be the artist I'm made to be. In many cases they wanted to turn me into the next pop queen like Britney Spears, and they didn't understand my love for music. I didn't want them to turn what I loved into a commodity.' - Sarah Brendel
