Serfs were more akin to citizens of a small microstate. The time you worked for the lord wasn't crazy or anything, and theoretically you could buy "freedom", the thing was there was nowhere else to go. Being tied to a Lord was almost certainly better than risking it as a vagabond or trying your luck in a city. They were nowhere near "owned".
