03 Jul 08 - 12:14 AM (#2379717) Subject: Lyr Add: DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS SONG (Weird Al) From: Jim Dixon This song was mentioned in another thread: Copyright Infringement Anthem?--but I think this thread has a more appropriate title for posting lyrics. YouTube says "We're sorry, this video is no longer available" but I found another source: Revver. Weird Al is famous for his parodies, but he writes original songs, too. In fact, I think all his albums are about half original songs. Those just don't get as much airplay as the parodies. I think this one is an original. DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS SONG Weird Al Yankovic Once in a while maybe you will feel the urge To break international copyright law By downloading mp3s from file-sharing sites Like Morpheus or Grokster or LimeWire or KaZaA; But deep in your heart, you know the guilt would drive you mad, And the shame would leave a permanent scar, 'Cause you start out stealing songs, then you're robbing liquor stores, And selling crack, and running over school kids with your car. CHORUS: So don't download this song. The record store's where you belong. Go and buy the CD like you know that you should. Oh, don't download this song. Oh, you don't want to mess with the R-I-double-A. They'll sue you if burn that CD-R. It doesn't matter if you're a grandma or a seven-year-old girl. They'll treat you like the evil hard-bitten criminal scum you are. CHORUS: So don't download this song. Don't go pirating music all day long. Go and buy the CD like you know that you should. Oh, don't download this song. BRIDGE: Don't take away money from artists just like me. How else can I afford another solid-gold Humvee, And diamond-studded swimming pools? these things don't grow on trees, So all I ask is everybody please— CHORUS: Don't download this song. (Don't do it, no, no.) Even Ron Zorick(?) knows it's wrong. (You can just ask him.) Go and buy the CD like you know that you should. (You really should.) Oh, don't download this song. CHORUS: Don't download this song. (Oh, please don't you do it or you—) You might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong. (Remember Tommy.) Go and buy the CD (right now) like you know that you should. (Go on, buy it.) Oh, don't download this song. CHORUS: Don't download this song. (No, no, no, no, no, no) You'll burn in hell before too long. (And you'd deserve it.) Go and buy the CD like you know that you should. Oh, don't download this song. [FADE OUT] [From the album "Straight Outta Lynwood" 2006.] |
