about
A comment on how the whole downloading thing has devalued such a beautiful thing.
lyrics
In such a magic place, living my way
Doing what I need to get by, every day
Parasites trying to cling to me and, to bring me down
Though I keep to myself, they surround
For years breaking my own wallet and balls for this
Leeches think not once, straight away dismiss
Give em a "cm" they'll take a "k"
My handout's going somewhere deserved today
Cause music is free
Generation P2P
The want dwarfs the need
The moral ground isn't seen
Still I try to do my thing
Battling against that hill, seems I cannot win
Vultures outnumber me, ten to one
Seems time is running out, nowhere to run
Expected favours by those I never see
Acquaintances due more than family?
My faith in the human race is crushed
Just carry on, don't consider anything that much
Cause music is free
Generation P2P
The want dwarfs the need
The moral ground isn't seen
It's all about you
It's all about you
Hide behind that screen
Safe amongst the blue
Conduct obscene
Oblivious too
It's all about you
Nothing else will do
Doing what I need to get by, every day
Parasites trying to cling to me and, to bring me down
Though I keep to myself, they surround
For years breaking my own wallet and balls for this
Leeches think not once, straight away dismiss
Give em a "cm" they'll take a "k"
My handout's going somewhere deserved today
Cause music is free
Generation P2P
The want dwarfs the need
The moral ground isn't seen
Still I try to do my thing
Battling against that hill, seems I cannot win
Vultures outnumber me, ten to one
Seems time is running out, nowhere to run
Expected favours by those I never see
Acquaintances due more than family?
My faith in the human race is crushed
Just carry on, don't consider anything that much
Cause music is free
Generation P2P
The want dwarfs the need
The moral ground isn't seen
It's all about you
It's all about you
Hide behind that screen
Safe amongst the blue
Conduct obscene
Oblivious too
It's all about you
Nothing else will do
