Chumbawamba - Pass it along (MP3 mix)
In a democracy the ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, the general population, has to be kept from interfering. They can be spectators, but not participants.
No matter how much legal action you put behind this, people are going to do what they want to do.
Spectators, but not participants
It's time to talk about censorship
Send this song to twenty people
And isn't it stealing?
Add your name, don't break the cycle
From people to people
Pass it along, pass it along
People like .MP3s
Pass it along, pass it along
How about trying this future on for size?
Well it's a one for the money
Spectators, but not participants
Well it's a one for the money
Spectators, but not participants
You can't legislate people's behavior.
This is what we want to do, you know, if they consider that selling out, then, uh, whatever
Whatever
Whatever
The people who run Napster should be in prison
It's time to talk about censorship.
Send this song to twenty people
And isn't it stealing?
Add your name, don't break the cycle
From people to people
Pass it along, pass it along
People like .MP3s
Pass it along, pass it along
The best things in life are free
The best things in life are free
And isn't it stealing?
The best things in life are free
And isn't it stealing?
The best things in life are free
Why does a consumer want to download music for free?
No matter how much legal action you put behind this, people are going to do what they want to do
People are going to do what they want to do
How about trying this future on for size?
Well it's a one for the money
Spectators, but not participants
Well it's a one for the money
Spectators, but not participants
You can't legislate people's behavior
Pass it along, pass it along
We don't mind when our fans pay money to wear our promotional T-shirts, and it's fine when they pay forty dollars to come to one of our concerts, but when our fans think they can listen to our music for free, they just crossed the line.
