My name is not Prince (2008)

Free the music from the record companies
enslaving the artistic soul
free the music from the format radio
free the music from the playlist control.
What if the artists owned their work
without lifetime contracts cast in the same pop hit mould?
What if the artists got every cent
from every song they have sold?

My name is not Prince
not at birth and never since
I'm not selfish,
I'm not greedy,
you can download this song freely
dance to it on any web site
it's a fair use of copyright.

Free the music from the artists arrogant
suing hard their own fansites.
Free the music from the blinded hypocrites
earned dollars feeding their fights.
What if the listeners didn't have to pay
for blank CDs to burn this simple free tune?
What if they could party on youtube
under the cherry moon?

[Chorus]

I'm not vegeterian or presbyterian
witness or mormon but I drink bourbon
I'm not catholic but I could be alcoholic
and I eat raw meat I believe in funky beat.

[Chorus]
