Ok, I got it

I OWN THE SKY.

I own the sky and if you want the sun
To shine on you and your crops
It’s me you’ll have to pay.
I own the roads you drive
And the sidewalks you walk on
And I’ll tax every metre and mile you move.

I own the words and the thoughts,
The colours and the dreams
Everything that makes you laugh or cry or love
You’ll have to buy from me.
For three times the price it’s worth!

I own the wires and the wavelengths.
I own the guns and the bombs.
If you want to protect your soul
With a barbed wire fence and laser-guided missiles
You’ll still have to get them from me.

I own the sea and the sand
The waves and the wind and the undertow.
And wherever you want to sail or fly
You’ll still have to pay out to me.

I own the sky and if you want the sun
To shine on you or rain on your crops
It’s me you’ll have to pay.

I own the day and the night
The time you need and the time you haven’t got.
I own the moment you die and the moment you were given life.
Even the ants and the flies have to pay tax to me.

I own the molecules and the mountains.
I own the rivers and lakes.
Every fish that swims or bird that flies
Is at my command and goes and does what I say.

And if you run I’ll slow you down.
If you stop I’ll make you go.
If you are silent I’ll make you speak.
If you are too loud I’ll shut you up.
I own you!

I own the clowns and the kings.
The dancers and the doctors.
Every man, woman, child and beast
Is driven and directed by me.
Because I own the sky.
I own the sky!
