Rent them! Lease them!
And you may.
Pay up and you may I say.

If you will let me be,
I will rip them.
You will see.

Say!
I like CDs I buy!
I do!! I OWN them, RIAA guy!
And I would play them in a boat!
And I would play them despite your goat...
And I will play them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
Fair use is good so good you see!

So I will play them in a box.
And I will play them with a fox.
And I will play them in a house.
And I will play them with a mouse.
And I will play them here and there.
Say! I will play them ANYWHERE!

I do so like CDs I buy!
Screw you!
Screw you, RIAA guy!
