NEWS Young man, you've been writing some code, I said,
Young man, think it ought to be showed, I said,
Young man, but what you shoulda knowed, is some
Things... must... be... left... un-said. Young man, there's a law that's been passed, I said
Young man, we hoped it wouldn't last, but now
Young man, if you break it, your ass will be
Hauled&.away &to club Fed. We cannot stay with the DMCA
Get hauled away with the DMCA You cannot circumvent
Any music or book
Can't even let your kid take a look That's why we're flamin' the DMCA,
Our guy was framed on the DMCA,
The Man gives us rules
That we've got to obey
But encryption just gets in the waaaaaaaaaaay Young man, there's no need to feel down, I said
Young man, hide yourself underground, I said
Young man, cos the feds are in town, you know
There's no place you can hide
Young man, there's no place you can go, I said
Young man, when they don't like your code, if you
Stay here, I am sure you will find
That you haven't got no more time (chorus) You sir, I hope you understand, we're im-
Pa-tient, hope the Feds can free our man, but no-
Bo-dy...can resist our demand, we'll shout
Til... they...free... D-mi-try Dima's&fate lies in our own hands, so please
Help us&make them meet our demands, so call
D.C&make them send this young man back to
His... own...home... and... fam'ly (chorus)
