00:00 [MUSIC]
00:13 Once in a while, maybe you will feel the urge
00:19 To break international copyright law
00:25 By downloading MP3s from file sharing sites
00:31 Like Morpheus or Grokster or LimeWire or Kazaa
00:38 But deep in your heart, you know the guilt would drive you mad
00:44 And the shame would leave a permanent scar
00:50 'Cause you start out stealing songs, then you're robbing liquor stores
00:56 And selling crack and running over school kids with your car
01:03 So don't download this song
01:10 The record store's where you belong
01:15 Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
01:22 Oh, don't download this song
01:27 Oh, you don't wanna mess with the R.I.A.A.
01:35 They'll sue you if you burn that CD-R
01:41 It doesn't matter if you're a grandma or a seven-year-old girl
01:48 They'll treat you like the evil, hard-bitten criminal scum you are
01:54 So don't download this song
02:00 Don't go pirating music all day long
02:06 Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
02:13 Oh, don't download this song
02:19 Don't take away money from artists just like me
02:26 How else can I afford another solid gold Humvee?
02:32 And diamond studded swimming pools, these things don't grow on trees
02:39 So all I ask is everybody please
02:45 Don't download this song
02:52 Even Marzorek knows it's wrong
02:57 Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
03:04 Oh, don't download this song
03:11 Or you might wind up in jail like Tommy Shaw
03:19 Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
03:26 Oh, don't download this song
03:34 Or you'll burn in hell before too long
03:42 Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
03:49 Oh, don't download this song
