I Want My MP3!

[jabber]

Now look at them lawyers, that's the way you do it
You sue the whole net over the MP3
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Music for nothin' and tunes for free
No, that ain't legal, that's the way they do it
Lemme tell ya them geeks ain't dumb
Hit the Napster site to get a whole album
Leach a few tracks using Gnutella

We gotta block all MP3.COM traffic
Custom firewall .configs
We gotta do it in the name of bandwidth
We gotta stop those MP3s

See that CEO with the torn jeans and the T-shirt
No buddy, he's no MBA
That little punk kid has a million dollar web-site
That little punk kid just went IPO

I shouldda learned to hack the TCP/IP stack
I shouldda learned to rip CDs
Look at Lars Ulrich, man! He's flipping off the camera
Ugh! Metallica is losing fans fast
Hey, who's there? What's that? Downloading noises?
Filling up the next Gig cause the music's free
That ain't legal? That's the way they do it
Get their music for nothin' and your tunes for free

No, that aint' buying, that's the way we do it
We listen to all our music as an MP3
It's not stealing, it's the new way to do it
Music for nothing and your tunes for free
Music for nothing, tunes for free
Music for nothing, tunes for free

Apologies to Dire Straits.
