Got To Rip It Off by The Axis of Awesome Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you write your own music
That has a similar sound
To something somebody else had written
It might get around
And then the lawyers will sue you for a huge fee
It could be up to seven million baby
So take it from me
Make sure you always remember
This one thing above all
Parody is fair use baby, so just copy it all
As long as it's original
There's always a chance
It'll sound like something already written
And they'll sue the pants off you

[Verse 2]
Used your music foo', Marvin, and that's alright
It's perfectly legal, fuck your copyright
Why do you think that this genre belongs to you?
Thеre's so many blurred lines
But this is fair usе
[Verse 3]
You live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw bricks
Just read Title 17 Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976
We didn't even sample, I made this music myself
No I won't be accused of being thick, unlike somebody else

[Verse 4]
I think it's ironic they paid homage to you
And they're the ones that you took to court
But it's us you can't sue
Used your music, foo', Marvin, and that's okay
It comes under fair use baby, so we'll never pay

[Outro]
Used your music
Stole it, used it, parodied it
