Hey, can I ask you a question?
Where'd you get the music?
Did you get it off a website?
Myspace? iTunes?
Ripped from your buddy's pod?
Burned to a blank on your sweetie's laptop?
Or did you buy it off the back of some
Stage when you were passing through?
Where'd you get the music?
ย
Maybe there's still some cool mom-and-pop record store
That escaped Walmart's talons somewhere
Sandwiched between Bed Bath & Beyond and Hooters
ย
Maybe, maybe you got it for a song
That's what people say, right?
Got it for a song?
Songs were about all I had when I dreamed
Of following my musical heroes' footsteps
And I did just that
By signing a recording contract without the protection of a lawyer
Surrounded by smiling men in suits
Believing we were in business together
I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker
I signed an industry standard contract
Another music industry industrial accident
ย
These songs have been recorded before
And they're available on iTunes
But none of that money gets to me
Where'd you get the music?
Yeah, take the bastards to court
I can hear you say it into your speakers full of righteous indignation
But it's hard to pay a lawyer with a song
So, rather than give the money to them
I just thought I'd do it all over again
It's a lot more fun anyway
