Charity Case |
Oh, man! |
I try to dodge fans but they keep swarming |
MC Frontalot’s heart’s huge; |
let’s have a housewarming |
I love you so damn much I’ll sell you CDs |
I’m greedy to get loved back like Ally Sheedy |
In WarGames. |
I got more sayings and turns of phrase |
In my communist handbook than in my — damn, what’d |
I do with my ledger? |
I’ll never get paid now! |
That distributor promised me checks but didn’t say how |
He was going to locate the Front |
It’s the anonymity I’m a little bitty bit late to shun |
Hate to run; |
can’t be tardy to my rally: |
«Art Must Be Free» is the decree. |
The finalé |
Is my lecture on the evils of the R-I-double-A |
How they’re going to sue you every single time you hit play |
They’re lame! |
Must revolt! |
What’s that you say? |
Kids are pirating the Frontalot? |
Oh no, I got betrayed! |
It’s true: |
Frontalot’s destitute |
I need you |
To buy my CD so I could buy food |
I been a charity case to my fan base for years: |
In tears at my show, «somebody buy me a ride home.» |
Now I’ve got something I can barter for services |
Don’t let the major labels get word of this |
I’m girderless, free falling towards riches; |
Going to sell so many CDs that I can afford britches |
And a shirt, and a hat to go with it |
I get specific — ‘cause my fantasy is that vivid |
I’m going to buy gadgets that don’t do anything but beep |
And blink, then I’ll go out in public & buy drinks — |
But it’s contingent on your ponying up |
Wait, you got my record on Bittorrent? |
Fuck! |
Seems like there’s no DRM but I’ll explode |
Your computer like COBRA done to GI Joe |
On the episode about computer viruses |
Oh look, there’s the ledger: overflowing with minuses |
My spinelessness in the face of the starvation |
Projected by my cash flow erodes the hesitation |
I once harbored as regards the tune vending |
If only the nerd kids' aversion to spending |
Money on data got inverted somehow |
I’d be making my way through all the dollars with a plow |
But instead I’m down on the ground on my knees |
Begging y’all to believe my CD isn’t free |
Frontalot needs food badly |
Is that a popsicle? |
I — was just, no I mean clearly it’s a popsicle |
Were you gonna finish it or were you gonna throw it out? |
Cause… no cause if- I mean if you were going to throw it out |
Then I would eat the rest of it |
I was just saying but if you’re not going to throw it out |
Then you know go ahead and- |
I mean you should finish it quickly |
Cause it’s dripping and you’re wasting it I mean |
And it is- you know it’s lime |
Which is like my favorite flavor of popsicle |
