Napster and Gnutella

Napster and Gnutella gave us MP3s
We frolicked on the Internet
And got our music there for free.
Little drummer Ulrich hated Napster stuff
And sued their ass collectively and made their lives real rough.

Oh, Napster and Gnutella gave us MP3s
We frolicked on the Internet
And got our music there for free.
Napster and Gnutella gave us MP3s
We frolicked on the Internet
And got our music there for free.

Metallica sued Napster, because their drummer, Lars.
Wants eight new Porsches, not just six, parked there in his garage.
If these guys win their lawsuit, then all that you will get
To download then from Napster is Alannis Morrisette.

Oh, Napster and Gnutella gave us MP3s
We frolicked on the Internet
And got our music there for free.
Napster and Gnutella gave us MP3s
We frolicked on the Internet
And got our music there for free.

I’ve learned a lot ‘bout ethics from the history of the band,
Metallica. They got their start in a stolen U-Haul van.
Their Website seems to tell us trading music is OK
(Unless the band’s Metallica. In that case, hell, no way!)

My head is bent in sorrow, will Napster be no more?
With no more trading music now my life will be a bore.
I’m such a sharing person, someone who really cares.
If I can’t share my music now I’ll spend my time on warez! *

Oh, Napster and Gnutella gave us MP3s
We frolicked on the Internet
And got our music there for free.
Napster and Gnutella gave us MP3s
We frolicked on the Internet
And got our music there for free.
