Something For Nothing - Loudon Wainwright III
You can pull one of my songs
Right out of thin air
Go ahead and download me
See if I care
In love war and cyberspace
Everything's fair
And it's ok to steal '
Coz it's so nice to share
You're in luck
'Cos last night it happened again
I was feeling creative
About twenty to ten
So I sharpened a pencil
Then I wore down its end
And now soon you'll have something
To share with your friends
It took twenty minutes
To write down this song
Tune's public domain
But I didn't do wrong
I chewed up the pencil
And the eraser's all gone
Scratched my head and my balls
But it didn't take long
Songwriting's not so hard
It's well understood
Anyone can do it
And everyone should
And I'm sure you could write
And sing something as good
With some balls and a pencil
I'm sure that you would
A PC's like a crowbar
It's only a tool
Music flows like water
From a big public pool
But I wanna get paid for my work
But I'm a fool
Because trading and sharing's
So awesome and cool
I don't mean to be flip
I don't wanna be pat
And those Metallica guys are
All getting too fat
Free information yeah
What's wrong with that
Something for nothing
That's where it's at--
And those moguls run labels
And you call 'em all crooks
'Cos they crunch the numbers
And they cook the books
But I signed that contract
And I got my hand shook
Shaking hands with the devil
It's not as bad as it looks
You can pull one of my songs
Right out of thin air
Bootleg and download me
Just see if I care
In love war and cyberspace
Everything's fair
And it's ok to steal
'Coz it's so nice to share
