Pass it along MP3mix

In a democracy the ignorant
And meddlesome outsiders
The general population
Has to be kept from interfering
They can be spectators, but not participants

No matter how much legal action
You put behind this
People are going to do what they want to do
Spectators, but not participants
It's time to talk about censorship

Send this song to twenty people
And isn't it stealing?
Add your name, don't break the cycle
From people to people
Pass it along, pass it along
People like MP3s
Pass it along, pass it along
How about trying this future on for size?

Well it's a one for the money
Spectators, but not participants
Well it's a one for the money
Spectators, but not participants

You can't legislate people's behavior

This is what we want to do, you know
If they consider that selling out, then
Uh, whatever whatever whatever

The people who run Napster
Should be in prison
It's time to talk about censorship
Send this song to twenty people
And isn't it stealing?
Add your name, don't break the cycle
From people to people
Pass it along, pass it along
People like MP3s
Pass it along, pass it along

The best things in life are free
The best things in life are free
And isn't it stealing?
The best things in life are free
And isn't it stealing?
The best things in life are free

Why does a consumer want to
Download music for free?
No matter how much legal action
You put behind this
People are going to do what they want to do
People are going to do what they want to do
How about trying this future on for size?

Well it's a one for the money
Spectators, but not participants
Well it's a one for the money
Spectators, but not participants
You can't legislate people's behavior
Pass it along, pass it along

We don't mind when our fans pay
Money to wear our promotional T-shirts
And it's fine when they pay forty dollars
To come to one of our concerts
But when our fans think they can
Listen to our music for free
They just crossed the line
