    [Intro]
    Gotta thank Jay-Z for this one
    Did a song about what he thought was destroying our rich musical culture
    But I don't think it's auto tune... It's something much worse

    [Verse 1]
    Only rapper to be called a thief without stealing
    Download an MP3 for free, these people hit the ceiling
    I'm just a citizen that's teaching you a lesson
    for restricting my freedom of expression
    How can ideas be possessions when they're freely replicable?
    Hence unapplicable property laws are reprehensible
    Didn't Jefferson express his opinion on the matter
    when he said inventions shouldn't be given a patent
    What happened to that thinking, we're stuck in a pattern
    where the people with everything are keeping everything from us who haven't
    We want it back, look, fed up of adverts, left and right
    begging me to buy til there's nothing left of mine
    to spend, never mind, who's next in line to testify
    that we need laws like these to protect our rights?
    Medicine has never been something I'd ever deprive
    especially when a life depends on it to survive
    Yeah, it takes an incredible effort to develop them right
    but putting wealth over health, I said it's never been right

    [Bridge]
    What will kill creativity?
    If it's not the overload of conveyor belt manufactured wind toned pop
    It must be amateur producers using uncleared samples to advance the legacy of the artist that inspired them

    [Verse 2]
    I'm just a citizen that's teaching you a lesson
    for restricting my freedom of expression, and I reckon
    if old blues themes hadn't been used by Led Zeppelin
    we wouldn't ever have any heavy metal then
    the history of music would have never even happened
    and amusingly there wouldn't even be a Metallica
    to tell us that we should hang on the gallows of law
    so we wouldn't even need to have a Gallo Report
    Oh and by the way the fricking Gallo's support
    is made of signatures which have been apparently forged
    This shit is sinister, and cannot be allowed to enforce
    so tell your ministers and MEPs of how it's been brought about
    Although you'll probably get a shallow retort
    because the lobbyists have got a grip around all their balls
    If I was boss, I'd tell them get the Hell out the door
    because I've had enough of corrupt crooks ramming through laws

    [Bridge]
    What will kill creativity?
    If it's not the fact you can't even download a song you'v heard a thousand times on the radio without being charged for the privilege
    It must be the fans lovingly crafting mix tapes to share with like minded musical enthusiasts

    [Verse 3]
    I'm just a citizen that's teaching you a lesson
    for restricting my freedom of expression
    Yes, and deep packet inspection? squeeze that up your rectum
    If your postman did that to you you'd be having him sectioned
    arrested for meddling in your private affairs
    But it's only online, right? so why should we care?
    Because digital rights should be applicable right
    here in real life, and we're not criminals, right?
    So this is just why we'll never give up the fight
    to be considered innocent until we kick up and die
    Giving internet providers responsibility
    for the whims of their subscribers infringes privacy
    Before the internet, media was a rarity
    but how do you expect it to keep its value without scarcity
    And that's what scares me, seeing their cons and schemes
    to stop their creaking business model being obsolete
    What a robbery they pull off so obviously
    Don't give a fuck who it affects as long as it's not me
    Well I'll keep making copies, see if they can stop me
    They'll have to confiscate my PC and take it off me
    See there's no problem with taking my property
    for creating some lines of binary, blatant hypocrisy
    Afraid to face the controversy relating to what we need
    Making a profit off it or breaking monopolies

    [Outro]
    What will kill creativity?
    If it's not the strangle hold the record industry has over the broadcasting media
    Leaving only the chosen few marketable marienets to the slither of the pie
    While the rest fight for the stale crumbs on the floor
    isn't mean?
