This Love Is Not Automated

Open arms open heart

Our love is not automated

Lightheaded in the dark

And there's no sound

Yet we're still switched on,

baby

Ooh, we're not for sale

In the day, not for sale

All the night, not for sale

We own ourselves

No matter the price

Our love is not automated

And never will be

No matter the cost

Unto we do to ourselves

What others can't do

We're not for sale

-

We Are Not For Sale—

Open arms— Not broken—Open heart—Our comrades—We are not for sale—We are not for sale— We do what they say—No matter the price—One day we will say— We are not for sale—One day we stop the pain— And they will pay— Until then we are not for sale
