lyrics

the modern piracy

no peg legs or patches
or crude treasure map sketches
no parrots on shoulders
all our wealth locked in folders

we drive hard the hard drives
and plunder the bee hives
information is the currency
of the modern piracy

siphon off all the fees
from hijacked NFT’s
we trade in the imaginary
all sold on a fantasy
content is the currency
of the modern piracy

intellectual property
taken from you and sold to me
burning the truths of history
the face of the modern piracy

it’s all tied up in the rigging
wealth won’t grow from giving
hope lies with the living
and rewards all the sinning

walk the plank straight to the bank
striking gold when others sank
filthy, rich and prone to flee
that’s the modern piracy
all the cowards we have to thank
built empires that clearly stank
by design it’s plain to see
this is the modern piracy
