Song Lyrics:

Take Back The Music by Sudden Death, featuring Possible Oscar lyrics: T. Rockwell music: Possible Oscar vocals: T. Rockwell, J. Ringold [verse 1] Change is the only thing that stays the same It seems strange, but you couldn't avoid it when it came Ask Valerie Plame, it really can suck But chase it and embrace it, you can make your own luck Gettin' stuck in the past is no way to last And the guys that try are doomed to die pretty fast But some are too stubborn to give up their old tricks It'll bet they haven't changed their underwear since they were six This is the way music operates today The major labels just pray that MP3s will go away CD sales are down and they blame the internet Well guess what, that's all the money you're gonna get 'Cause we're getting sick of all your manufactured hits As we discover new talent in downloadable bits You wonder why your future is in serious doubt Have you listened to the crap that you guys are putting out!? [chorus] Everybody come on! The revolution is going on So while the lawsuits go on and on I think it's time that we Take back the music! They got it wrong I let the public download my song And on my journey they go along And now together we'll Take back the music! [verse 2] The internet changed the way I started getting my tunes While you were dragged kicking and screaming into iTunes And hey, look at that, now your wallet's getting fat Pity that your artists don't get a piece of that You're resented more than lawyers whose cologne is money scented As unprecedented arrogance and greed is presented You screw over a band and then you sue their fans Can you tell me how that fits into your business plan? Fifty-thousand sales is considered a flop I think it's time to reevaluate the people at the top If I sold fifty-thousand I could buy a new house And instead of my checks it'd be my car that bounced So you just keep doin' what you're doin' and you'll ruin The whole industry, which will make more room for me And my kind, independent music shining through While you're biting the hand that plays guitar for you [chorus] Everybody come on! The revolution is going on So while the lawsuits go on and on I think it's time that we Take back the music! They got it wrong I let the public download my song And on my journey they go along And now together we'll Take back the music! [bridge] Now you're suing everyone for the songs they lend It's a disturbing trend with no foreseeable end Most settle, because they can't afford to defend What's a little extortion among friends? Over nine thousand dollars for some bits and atoms How you came up with that number I have yet to fathom Jammie Thomas got crushed because she happened to have 'em No song is worth that, let alone Brian Adams [verse 3] Instant gratification's where it's at For music, fan fiction, and pictures of cats Plus videos of girls who vomit each other's crap Tell me how can you compete with that, you can't But that's no reason why some idiot won't try To develop some technology to force us to comply DRM, it's just a futile struggle for power Are you gonna sue me next because I sing in the shower? Calculating, cold, and extremely bold Universal gets a dollar for every Zune sold They don't really care that they don't play fair Now some CDs come with their own SpyWare So while I'm writing rhymes working on my next FuMP hit Sony's getting lonely working on their new root kit They'll have a new DRM working soon I hope they make it work so well that it spells their own doom [chorus] Everybody come on! The revolution is going on So while the lawsuits go on and on I think it's time that we Take back the music! They got it wrong I let the public download my song And on my journey they go along And now together we'll Take back the music! Everybody come on! The revolution is going on So while the lawsuits go on and on I think it's time that we Take back the music! It goes on and on! You can't stop this phenomenon Now there's some people I'd vomit on For now I think we'll just Take back the music! (peterpuck9)
