[MC Lars, Jaret Ray Reddick - Download This Song lyrics]
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
It’s 2006, the consumer’s still pissed
Won’t take it anymore so I’m writing a list
Don’t try to resist this paradigm shift
The music revolution cannot be dismissed
$1898 Iggy pop CD
What if I can get it from my sister for free?
It’s all about marketing Clive Davis see
If fans buy the shirt then they get the mp3
Music was a product now it is a service
Major record labels why are you
Trying to hurt us epic’s up in my face like
"don’t steal our songs Lars"
While Sony sells the burners
That are burning CD-R’s
So Warner EMI hear me clearly
Universal music, update your circuitry
They sue little kids downloading hit songs
They think that makes sense
When they know that it’s wrong
Hey Mr record Man the joke’s on you
Running your label like it was 1992
Hey Mr record Man your system can’t compete
It’s the new artist model

I know I’m rhyming fast but
The message is clear
You don’t need a million dollars
To launch a career
If your style is unique and
You practice what you preach
Minor Threat and Jello both
Have things to teach
I’ve got G5 production concept videos
Touring with a laptop rocking packed shows
The old-school major deal it makes no sense
Indentured servitude the costs
Are too immense
Their finger’s in the dam but
The crack keeps on growing
Can’t sell bottled water when
It’s freely flowing
Record sales slipping down 8 percent
Increased download sales you can’t prevent
Satellite radio and video games
Changed the terrain it will never be the same
Did you know in ten years labels won’t exist?
Goodbye DVDs and compact discs
Hey Mr record Man what’s wrong with you
Still living off your catalogue from 1982
Hey Mr record Man your system can’t compete
It’s the new artist model

You know, we just wanted a level
Playing field you’ve overcharged
Us for music for years and now we’re
Just trying to find a fair balance i hate
To say it but…welcome to the future
