Don't Download This Song Lyrics - Straight Outta Lynwood - Weird Al Yankovic

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 KaZaA 

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, and then you're robbing liquor stores 

And selling crack and running over school kids with your car 

So don't download this song 

The record store's where you belong 

Go and buy the CD like you know that you should 

Oh don't download this song

Oh you don't want to mess with the R I double A 

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

It doesn't matter if you're a grandma or a 7-year-old girl 

They'll treat you like the evil, hard-bitten criminal scum you are 

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 

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...

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

Even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong (You can 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 Now) like you know that you should (Go out and buy it) 

Oh don't download this song... 

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

Or you'll burn in Hell before too long (And you'd deserve it) 

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

Oh, don't download this song
