Axis Of Awesome - Got to Rip it Off Lyrics

If you write your own music that has a similar sound
To something somebody else had written, it might get around
And then the lawyers will sue you for a huge fee
It could be up to seven million baby, so take it from me

Make sure you always remember this one thing above all
Parody is Fair Use baby, so just copy it all
As long as it's original, there's always a chance
It'll sound like something already
written, and they'll sue the pants off you

Used your music foo', Marvin, and that's alright
It's perfectly legal. Fuck your copyright
Why do you think that this genre belongs to you?
There's so many blurred lines, but this is fair use

You live in a glass house; you shouldn't throw bricks
Just read Title 17 Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976
We didn't even sample, I made this music myself
No I won't be accused of being Thick, unlike somebody else

I think it's ironic they paid homage to you
And they're the ones that you took to court, but it's us you can't sue
Used your music, foo', Marvin, and that's okay
It comes under Fair Use baby, so we'll never pay
