That's My Toy
Ownership Anthem: Defiant Claims and Exclusivity
Lyrics
That's my toy you can't have it
Asserting ownership and reluctance to share a possession.
That's my ball you can look, but you can't play
Allowing observation but not participation in an activity.
This is my candy and I'm not gonna share any of it
Declaring possession of candy and refusing to share, accompanied by a warning.
If you know what's good for you, you'll stay out of my way
Issuing a cautionary statement to avoid confrontation.
That's my bike, you can't ride it
Proclaiming exclusive rights to a bike, denying permission to ride it.
That's my chair, you can't sit there
Stating ownership of a chair and forbidding others to use it.
That's my dog, you can't pet him
Claiming possession of a dog and prohibiting petting.
Oh go tell your mama, see if I care
Dismissing concerns and suggesting reporting to a higher authority.
These are my friends, we don't like you
Declaring a group's dislike for someone and excluding them.
This is our clubhouse, and it's our playground
Emphasizing ownership of a clubhouse and playground, discouraging interaction.
If you talk to us we won't listen
Refusing to engage in conversation and expressing aversion.
We don't like you hangin' around
Explicitly stating a dislike for someone's presence.
That's my parking place, I was here first
Claiming priority for a parking space and warning against contesting it.
This is my place in line, you can't cut in
Insisting on maintaining one's place in line and opposing line-cutting.
That's my woman, keep your eyes off of her
Possessiveness over a romantic partner, warning against interference.
This is my land, stay on your side of the fence
Defining boundaries and urging others to stay on their side.
This is our country, we don't want you here
Expressing a collective rejection of an outsider in a country or community.
This is our land, we mean to keep it for our own
Emphasizing exclusive ownership of the land and resistance to sharing.
This is our freedom, we don't want to share it
Claiming ownership of freedom and rejecting the idea of sharing it.
You can pack your dreams, you can go back home
Suggesting that dreams and aspirations should be taken elsewhere.
This is my God, you don't know Him
Asserting personal connection to a deity and questioning others' knowledge.
He's saving a place up in heaven just for me
Claiming a reserved place in heaven and excluding others from the same privilege.
You won't go there, my Bible tells me
Using religious beliefs to exclude others, citing divine guidance.
You're not invited, just wait and see
Denying an invitation to others, implying they won't be part of a certain future.
That's my toy you can't have it
Repeating the initial assertion of ownership and refusal to share.
That's my ball you can look, but you can't play
Reiterating permission to look at a ball but not play with it.
This is my candy and I'm not gonna share any of it
Repeating ownership of candy and expressing unwillingness to share.
If you know what's good for you, you'll stay out of my way
Reiterating the warning to avoid conflict by staying out of the way.
