Nuisance
John Reuben

(Sung by the Chainer guys)

Nick:
So here we are in the same old spot,
knowing something needs to happen but our mouths are locked.
tongue tied, closed tight, sealed shut yup.
I tried hard, but it just wouldn’t come up.

Josh:
It's on the tip of my tongue, it's in the front of my mind.
But the words were still so hard to find.
Finally the reality of things to come pushed me to the edge.
I jumped off the cliff into the abyss as I said,

Ori:
I’m not trying to be a nuisance.
I just think we can do better than this.
That was simply my two cents.
You can, you can, take it or leave it.

Will:
The conversation lingered on and on,
Before I knew it, night had turned to dawn.
We'll be searching for the truth in all of this ha, or are we debating, just to win the argument.
Cause none of us wanna hear about where we go wrong.

Butch:
This song could easily be from me to you, or me to john.
Cause I have the potential, to be the guiltiest ha.
My greatest strength is also my strongest weakness.

Ori:
I’m not trying to be a nuisance.
I just think we can do better than this.
That was simply my two cents.
You can, you can, take it or leave it.

Zack:
Let's think about this path that we're taking, Let's think about this future we're creating.
Let's think about this life that is fading, Think about it
Come on, think about now
Lets think about this time we're spending,
Investing in monetary things that are ending.
Let's think about it then. Let's think together.
Let's think about what we can do to make it better.

Ori:
I’m not trying to be a nuisance.
I just think we can do better than this.
That was simply my two cents.
You can, you can, take it or leave it.

Chainers:
We can, we will do better than this.

MC Lars
(Sung by the Chainers: Will, Josh, Orifiel, Zack)

Will:
It`s 2006, the consumer’s still pissed
Won`t take it anymore so I’m writing a list
Don`t try to resist this paradigm shift
The music revolution cannot be dismissed

Josh:
$18.98 Iggy Pop CD?
What if I can get it from my sister for free?
It’s all about marketing Clive Davis, see?
If fans buy the shirt then they get the mp3

Will:
Music was a product now it is a service
Major record labels why are you trying to hurt us?
Epic’s up in my face like, “Don’t steal our songs Lars,”
While Sony sells the burners that are burning CD-R’s

Josh:
So Warner, EMI, hear me clearly Universal Music, update your circuitry
They sue little kids downloading hit songs
They think that makes sense
When they know that it’s wrong!

Orifiel:
Hey Mr. Record Man The joke’s on you
Running your label Like it was 1992
Hey Mr. Record Man, Your system can’t compete
It’s the New Artist Model File transfer complete

Chainers:
Download this song! Download this song! Download this song!

Will:
I know I`m rhyming fast, but the message is clear
You don’t need a million dollars to launch a career
If your style is unique and you practice what you preach
Minor Threat and Jello both have things to teach!

Zack:
I`ve got G5 production, concept videos
Touring with a laptop, rocking packed shows
The old-school major deal?
It makes no sense
Indentured servitude, the costs are too immense!

Josh:
Their finger’s in the dam but the crack keeps on growing
Can’t sell bottled water when it’s freely flowing
Record sales slipping, down 8 percent
Increased download sales, you can`t prevent

Will:
Satellite radio and video games
Changed the terrain, it will never be same
Did you know in ten years labels won`t exist?
Goodbye DVD’s, and compact disks!

Orifiel:
Hey Mr. record man what’s wrong with you
Still living off your catalogue from 1982
Hey Mr. record man your system can’t compete
It’s the new artist model file transfer complete

Zack:
You know, we just wanted a level playing field.
You’ve overcharged us for music for years, and now we’re
Just trying to find a fair balance.
I hate to say it, but… Welcome to the future.

Orifiel:
Hey Mr. Record Man The joke’s on you
Running your label Like it was 1992
Hey Mr. Record Man, Your system can’t compete
It’s the New Artist Model File transfer complete !
