[Intro]
Dear Lily Allen
[Verse 1]
Remember when you pretended, Lily
That you were truly independent, Lily?
Faking like you made it all alone
But you were legally with Regal, part of Parlophone
Oh yes
So when you lectured me
I thought I'd fileshare my thoughts on your MP3, Lily
Now first I must sing your praises
I love your singing but I'll just say this:
I saw on your MySpace pages
Saying filesharing's a new ice age, but the
Industry's a recent innovation
Music's been alive, thriving since cavemen
Folk songs so long have had a place in
Communities that you should be amazed at it
Then one day came intellectual property
Meaning if I think a thought, you can't copy me
And if honesty's the best policy
I'd say songs are better off without this monopoly
It'd blatantly be a major fail
If they'd patented the major scale
And downloads don't equate to sales
So taking them away won't make me pay up
Just procludes me from sending your tunes
To my friends, so we all lose in the end
You lose potential fans and we lose
Respect for the fact that you're desperate for cash
But what do you expect from the lass
Who's collecting a fat bank cheque from the man
While her fans are collecting the glasses
For minimum wage they'll spend on her tracks?
