Intro
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Little guitar part after all the la la la la's
1st Verse
It's 2006, the consumers still pissed
Won't take it anymore so Im writing a list
Don't try to resist this paradigm shift
The music revolution cannot be dismissed
$18.98 Iggy Pop CD?
What if I can get it from my sister for free?
Its all about marketing Clive Davis, see?
If fans buy the shirt then they get the mp3
Music was a product now it is a service
Major record labels why are you trying to hurt us?
Epics up in my face like, Dont steal our songs Lars,
While Sony sells the burners that are burning CD-Rs
So Warner, EMI, hear me clearly
Universal Music, update your circuitry
They sue little kids downloading hit songs
They think that makes sense
When they know that its wrong
Bridge
Hey Mr. Record Man
The jokes on you
Running your label
Like it was 1992
Hey Mr. Record Man,
Your system cant compete
Its the New Artist Model

2nd Verse
I know I'm rhyming fast, but the message is clear
You dont need a million dollars to launch a career
If your style is unique and you practice what you preach
Minor Threat and Jello both have things to teach!
I've got G5 production, concept videos
Touring with a laptop, rocking packed shows
The old-school major deal? It makes no sense
Indentured servitude, the costs are too immense!
Their fingers in the dam but the crack keeps on growing
Cant sell bottled water when its freely flowing
Record sales slipping, down 8 percent
Increased download sales, you can't prevent
Satellite radio and video games
Changed the terrain, it will never be same
Did you know in ten years labels won't exist?
Goodbye DVDs, and compact disks!

Hey Mr. Record Man
The jokes on you

Hey Mr. Record Man,

2nd Bridge
You know, we just wanted a level playing field.
Youve overcharged us for music for years, and now were
Just trying to find a fair balance. I hate to say it, but
Welcome to the future.
