[Verse 1]

Once in a while

Maybe you will feel the urge.

To break International Copyright Law

By downloading MP3s

From file-sharing sites

Like Morpheus or Grokster or LimeWire or Kazza.

But deep in your heart.

You know the guilt would drive you mad

And the shame would leave a permanent scar

Cause you start out stealing songs

Then you're robbing liquor stores

And selling Crack

And running over school kids with your car


[Chorus]

So don't download this song

The record store is where you belong

Go and buy the CD like you know that you should

Oh don't download this song


[Verse 2]

Oh you don't want to mess

With the RI double A

They'll sue you if you burn that CD-R.

It doesn't matter if you're a grandma

Or a seven year old girl

They'll treat you like the evil hard-bitten

Criminal scum you are


[Chorus]

So don't download this song (don't go)

Pirating music all day long

Go and buy the cd like you know that you should

Oh don't download this song


[Bridge]

Don't take away money

From artists just like me

How else can I afford another solid gold Humvee

And diamond-studded swimming pools

These things don't grow on trees

So all I ask is everybody

Please


[Chorus:]

Don't download this song (don't do it no no)

Even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong (you could just ask him)

Go and buy the cd like you know that you should (you Really Should)

Oh don't download this song


Don't download this song (oh please don't you do it or you)

Might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong (remember Tommy)

Go and buy the CD (right row) like you know that you should (go out and buy it)

Oh don't download this song.


[Outro]

Don't download this song (no no no no no no)

Or you'll burn in Hell before to long (and you deserve it)

Go and buy the CD (Just buy it) like you know that you should (you cheap bastard)
