I used to hire from the video store
But I got tired of scratched disks that don't play anymore
And highly recommended sections disconnected from my own preferences
While I find myself tempted by expensive snacks and beverages
My imperative is entertainment at a reasonable price
Like free from an internet site right?
Might sail away and let anchors sink like magnet links in the Bay

A pirate’s life is the life for me
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
I surf the net not the seven seas
I wouldn't steal a car but I'd download one

Pirate my music download and abuse my intellectual property,
I’d do the same probably,
Potential economy lost isn’t robbery
Cost is impossibly high for a victimless crime
Do you think that it's fine?
Thousands in fines for kids downloading Miley online
Find me stacking drives with my piracy
Mp3s, movies, leeching each season before they even released within reach of my region.

A pirate’s life is the life for me
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
I surf the net not the seven seas
I wouldn't steal a car but I'd download one
I said a pirate’s life is the life for me
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
I surf the net not the seven seas
I wouldn't steal a handbag I'd download one

Feeding the seed megabit speed to the bird on my back
Parrot on my shoulder say'n Polly want a crack?
Or a cam rip or a hacked disc or a leaked hit from an artist
Dollar sign sits where their heart is
profit margins are what their art is
Cause millionaire studios don't need to sue 10 year olds
Cat o nines fly for small crimes online
Behind the times breaking their own bank
Blindfolding themselves and walking their own planks

The video killed the radio star
Like the pirate bay killed the video store
Like DVD killed the VCR
The FBI killed Megaupload
