lyrics

Litigation’s western Joy
A manufactured eastern toy
Intellectual property
How very dare you copy me

A patent on humanity
A trademark on your destiny
Intellectual property
How very dare you copy me

Privatize

Intellectual property
How very dare you copy me

Copyright technology
Copyright mythology
Locking down our history

Privatized biology
Privatized ecology
Manufactures poverty

Litigation is a bore
Copyleft and change the law

A partial facsimile’s
Not intellectual property

Socialize

A partial facsimile’s
Not intellectual property
Don’t hesitate to copy me
