My rythms could never compare
to those killer songs
My lyrics, they carry no meaning
Except when sung from their
heart

I've been radio friendly in
your headphones for so long
You are the pirate of my songs
But you remain their consumer

While I am yours

Extracting you from my pen
Giving birth to you from my
voice
Plagiarized by another
Your heart melts

I've been radio friendly on your
stereo for too long
Your are the pirate of my songs
You remain their avid fan

While I am yours

Why write, when I have no
meaning
Why listen, when you can't
comprehend
They've been stuck in your
head for days
Killing all of my simple ways

I've been radio friendly and
in your face
Year after year
Your are the pirate of my songs
While others are ringing in
your ears

I've been radio fiending for
your grace
While you've been pawning
shit for their CD's
You've been pirating all my songs
While you memorize their words

While I memorize you.
