The Lyrics

in response to the news bit from ChuckyG on the RIAA "amnesty program"oh, and the decade police can still kiss my butt. "misc"
if you seek forgivingness,
it isn't hard to find
you can clean your drive of songs and live
but when they look for truthfulness
they might just as well be blind
I'll burn them long before I'll give

amnesty..is such an ugly word
implications of untrue
amnesty RIAA has heard
that everybody will come through

I can always find someone who'll say their files died
but encoded right, they can deceive
but I don't want r-i-a-a behind my firewall,
though they tried
all I want is them to leave..

amnesty..is such an ugly word
implications of untrue
amnesty RIAA has heard
that everybody will come through

when I find a burner,
that will be the end
internet security until they see me send,
anyone can swap with me,
I promise this again,
oh no oh no

when they probe inside of me,
I'll send them a worm
I won't ask for nothing, once they're gone
but with great temerity
send me a forwarding worm
I'll be the one they descend on

amnesty..is such an ugly word
implications of untrue
amnesty the has heard
that everybody will come through

I think it's hilarious, Malcolm, that you've started filing everything under "misc." You subversive!

This parody was good, although I haven't decided what to vote yet.
