My New Song - Pirate Party Call To Arms

Remember, Remember, the 5th of November. Copyright, treason, and plot.

Lord Mandelson proposes a Three Strikes rule, allowing industry to disconnect entire families though accusing them three times of copyright infringement. No judge. No Jury. No judicial oversight.

This is just the latest example of the over-extension of copyright laws.

The Pirate Party wants to retract over extended copyright laws, reduce the database state and end the surveillance society.

I made a song pointing some of that out to celebrate November 5th.

Um, yeah. These are what I meant to sing. I may have altered a few of 'em in the process of singing though.

-----------------

They control us, they contain us,
Censor us and they shape us.
bottle up our thoughts and price 'em
Sell us back mass market pabulum

Edited, and fucking censored,
adjusted for their addenda.
They make us PAY or sue us,
threaten us, as mere consumers

Pay our government to betray us,
Make us placid to contain us
while they pretend to entertain us
As their machine just fucking mames us

FUCK THEM!
FUCK THEM!

We can control our own damn data,
liberate and free our culture,
free our minds, ditch their court fines
They don't control our fucking minds
We'll destroy their bottled market crap,
Stuff pretend culture up their ass!
Put our our OWN art in the commons
Drown 'em out with genuine concerns.

We'll take our culture and evolve it
without corporations to control it
make it BETTER for it's own sake
Make art for fucking art's sake.

Don't owe nothing to the man,
Art's for us, the average clan,
Won't take their cash to make a splash,
Make a difference with our indifference

COPY ME! COPY ME! Copy me till I die.
COPY ME! COPY ME! Copy or I die.

Pay to hear the culture of our nation?
It's already OURS without obligation
Don't need no copying restriction,
when it's said with real conviction

Wont pay to hear our own minds
art's is culture, not a cash-mine
It's the soul of all mankind
not a cash-cow all enshrined

SAY WHAT YOUR WANT,
COPY WHAT YOU WANT!
Spread the best!
Ignore the rest!
Raze pay-culture to the ground,
don't need it to be crowned
as some monopoly restriction
When it's said with real conviction

It's time to blow up copyright,
time to win the copy fight
Crowd-source our god-damned media
Facebook, Digg, wikipedia

Reddit crowdsources our headlines
Youtube's seeing to their demise
We'll build own our OWN god-damned CULTURE!
Steal it back from all those those vultures

Screw MTV, Screw FOX,
Screw BBC and the rest of those fucks,
We can listen to what we want
Re-tweet what we want

Don't need their permission
to specify our mission
We can make up our own crap!
Don't need their boring pap.

We have the power!
We have the power!

TAKE BACK OUR CULTURE!

BURN THEM!
Burn them right down.

The power is OURS!

Something like that.
