Lyrics

Once in awhile, 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 school kids 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 want to mess with the R-I-double-A
 They'll sue you if you burn that CD-R
 It 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
 Don't download this song (don't do it, no, no)
 Even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong (you can just ask him)
 Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (you really should)
 Oh, don't download this song
 Don't download this song (oh, please don't you do it or you)
 Might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong (remember Tommy)
 Go and buy the CD (right now)
 Like you know that you should (go out and buy it)
 Oh, don't download this song
 Don't download this song (no, no, no, no, no, no)
 Or you'll burn in hell before too long (and you deserve it)
 Go and buy the CD (just buy it)
 Like you know that you should (you cheap bastard)
