Let's say it started with CERN
and since then the prarie fire's burned
For the unrestriction of what we can learn
Tables gonna turn.
Cause for concern
We're moving past the point of no return
Common non-ownership of techniques and facts
Makes it hard for the knowledge-profitteers to relax
Demonize Jimmy Wales, throw people in jails
Try to push us to the rails
To maintain textbook sales
There's more to this than only what we think and what we say
It's proliferating further, every hour of every day
The same 12-year-olds who call each other gay
Aren't afraid of threats from the RIAA
Now there's plenty that's been said, there's plenty more to say
You can look for this song on Limewire or The Pirate Bay
[Tony Soprano]: "Fuckin' Internet"
[Ted Stevens]: "It's a series of tubes"
[Tony Soprano]: "Fuckin' Internet"
[Eben Moglen]: "All that was solid melts into air"
Take that Thomas Hobbes, the new behaviour of the mobs
Isn't pandering to slobs
Like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs
Who claim they're in distress, send out an SOS
But even Microsoft uses Linux OS
We know that the revolution won't be televized
YouTube'll bring it, real time to the public eye
Try to propertize, to monopolize,
They plant the seeds of their own demise
And if I'm the type of man to make bets,
5-to-1 that the revolution starts on the internets
Standing on the shoulders of giants makes you tall
In the distance I can see that capital is gonna fall
There's too many to thank, I could never name them all
Just remember, many eyes make any bug small.
[Tony Soprano]: "Fuckin' Internet"
[Ted Stevens]: "It's a series of tubes"
[Tony Soprano]: "Fuckin' Internet"
[Eben Moglen]: "All that was solid melts into air"
Critique?
Be warned: if you're mean, I'll make another one lambasting you because you're a hater.
