Intellectual property's the stupidest theft
That is why this song's Copyleft,
Public domain, Free as in speech
Money for nothing and chicks for less?
No way, sir, this song's copyleft
Use as you please, rewrite and rip
When technology is at the point
where it's free to distribute music
only ones who should be afraid are the
middlemen and the crooks
Sounds handcrafted
with tender loving care
Borrowed ideas
sue us if you dare
Guitar heroics
in a subversive context
DIY or die
Less sold the better
This recording is presented to you
with funding from our welfare state
additional resources leeched from
the deep pockets of wealthy relatives
Let the youth express themselves
Reinventing the slogans, reproducing cliches
Hear the sound of middle class brats
Total naivete and misguided rage
Arrogant cries for change and struggle
from the ones who are doing all right
Armchair revolt, hardcore lifestyle
fighting windmills with windmills and walls of death
