The Lyrics
Is it working?
a new Napster clone we can get online
with a script that they say is not buggy
it's just a record comp'ny shutting it down
there's no reason to log on
we can't be filesharing
will they back you?
lawyers said fines they're going to charge you are vast
but they'll be back up so fast
it's just a record comp'ny shutting it down
a hundred files still there on your system
prime candidates there for downloading
the result will be filesharing
the EMI's of this world
catch up they will try
wasting the profits that they earned
it's just a record comp'ny shutting it down
a business plan or attempt to look hard
within days they've had some new programs uploaded
and more users log on to it
once again
say we're not paying
we will be filesharing
the EMI's of this world
catch up they will try
wasting the profits that they earned
a new Napster clone we can get online
with a script that they say is not buggy
it's just a record comp'ny shutting it down
there's no reason to log on
we can't be filesharing
will they back you?
lawyers said fines they're going to charge you are vast
but they'll be back up so fast
it's just a record comp'ny shutting it down
a hundred files still there on your system
prime candidates there for downloading
the result will be filesharing
the EMI's of this world
catch up they will try
wasting the profits that they earned
it's just a record comp'ny shutting it down
a business plan or attempt to look hard
within days they've had some new programs uploaded
and more users log on to it
once again
say we're not paying
we will be filesharing
the EMI's of this world
catch up they will try
wasting the profits that they earned
