piracy is piracy

if you sail the seven seas or surf the net

record firms, they're making losses 

but they still spend it like they're making it

it's fifty grand to make a fucking video 

and sardy albums cost a fifth per track 

and so your favourite band

they don't make that second album

dropped by their label cause they can't pay it back



it killed them 

it killed them 

it killed them 

it killed them 



well i got some news for you then my brother

this is a buisness like any other

you got your product, make money off it 

you count your losses against your profits

and if you're thinking So? So? 

you don't know 



underground, that's where we come from 

we don't wear no suits and we are not called the 

but chart success, that brings security

you watch these brothers thinking Why not me?

so show me where to sign

and i'll write my name down in my own red blood 

because there comes a time when you think a house might be nice

and selling out don't mean a fuck, you see



it kills me 

it kills me 

it kills me 

it kills me 



i can't stand... (stand... it...) 

i can't stand... (stand... it...) 

i can't stand... (stand... it...) 

i can't stand... it... (stand... it...) 



well how's about you come down and i'll explain? 

get yourself to london on the train

then i'll just send you home again 



well how's about you come down and i'll explain? 

get yourself to london on the train 

then i'll just send you home again 



well how's about you come down and i'll explain? 

get yourself to london on the train 

then i'll just send you home again 



well how's about you come down and i'll explain? 

lean a little bit closer, i'll make it plain 

you don't stand a fucking chance 



i'd like a job in which i'm able 

to put shoes on my feet, and food on my table 

those nine-to-fivers, they look pretty stable 

but i get my wages from my record label 

and if you're thinking So? So? So? 



and if you're thinking So? So? 

you don't know enough about it 

because this death is slow (Because this death is slow) 

slow, slow (because this death is slow) 

(because this death is slow) 



this thing will work itself out 

this thing will work itself out 

this thing will work itself out

this thing will work it out

out, out, out



'guitarist and songwriter' 

that's what i thought i was 

i never had no dreams of being a waiter 

but these here helmet rip-offs 

they don't buy my lunch 

so I will get a real job in the office 



and i won't bother to make my music 

and i won't bother to sing my songs 

and i won't bother to get excited 

and i won't bother to get her off 



and i won't bother to make my music 

and i won't bother to sing my songs 

and i won't... 

and i won't...

and i won't bother to make my music 

and i won't bother to sing my songs
