The LinkOnce in a while, maybe you will feel the urge
to break international copyright law
by downloading mp3s from file sharing sites
like Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or Kazaa
But deep in your heart you know the guilt would drive you mad
and the shame would leave a permanent scar
'cause you start out stealing songs, then you're robbing liquor stores
and selling crack and running over schoolkids with your car
So don't download this song
the record store's where you belong
go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh don't download this song
Oh you don't wanna mess with the RIAA
They'll sue you if you burn that CDR
Doesn't matter if you're a grandma or a seven year old girl
they'll treat you like the evil hard-bitten criminal scum you are
So don't download this song
(don't go) pirating music all day long
go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh don't download this song
Don't take away money from artists just like me
How else can I afford another solid gold Humvee?
And diamond studded swimming pools- these things don't grow on trees
So all I ask is everybody please....
So don't download this song
even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong
go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh don't download this song
So don't download this song
(or you) might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong
go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh don't download this song
So don't download this song
you'll burn in hell before too long
go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh don't download this song
