lyrics

Give us our fucking internet back
You don't know best and you don't know jack
You think your right but we know your wrong
we can govern ourselves
You can suck on this song

But now they want to lock me up
Don't let these scumbags run amok
They claim that this is piracy
But what does that make me

Cos I'm not a fuckin' pirate im a digital robin hood
These greedy corporate bitches have just misunderstood
That they cant accuse us of committing crime they encourage
They created all the software that we use this is rubbish
Get your head in the game, you want help from the government?
This isn't such a secret but they're all being puppeted
And the companies that fund them fund the shit we download
Most of which uneducates till we wanna explode

The real pirates are privatising and want our right to privacy
Expelled from the law
Cast into the sea
Of information tune your station to the place you'd rather be
Cos these people made it simpler to legalise lunacy

They sold us out without a doubt
And sold their soul when they wrote the code
For the software that allowed us to download
Lose control

Your mind was washed away and now they're scrubbing it dry
Made your eyes desensitised to all the darkness that they hide
Walk the line and take your time and everything will be alright
But don't be blind to all the symbolism controlling our lives

Though I know its hard to deal with all this pain you hold inside
I cant help but wonder why you chose to feel that way tonight
Cos if words can change the way you think they'll change the way you feel
Can't believe you trapped yourself again its so unfucking real

Without facebook or youtube our lives would be bleak
If they disappeared all of our minds would delete
Can't play call of duty so we'll stare at the screen
Till our hearts run our lives now we're truly living

Cos business should never play government
The people we don't want a part of it
Advertising won't advise me that we all should pay a fee
So fuck you and fuck you and give us our internet for free
Hey1

To access information is a basic human right
So we'll fight it fight it fight it fight it
fight for the little green light.
