Carbon – The Gangs Of England Lyrics
If you want the record, just ask the Gangs of England
Intellectual litigation, just ask the Gangs of England
And copyright inflation, just ask the Gangs of England
Press record if you want the record
You are the record company, I sign to you my creative skill
You are the head of E.M.I. without investment in arms that kill
You are my advance on the western front
You are my publishing deal, you are my publicity stunt
And if you want the record, just ask the Gangs of England
Intellectual litigation, just ask the Gangs of England
And copyright inflation, just ask the Gangs of England
Press record if you want the record
You are my photo session, you are my interview
You are my A&R man who hasn't got a clue
You are my South Bank special and you run Channel Four
You are my radio plugger who's just been shown the door
And if you want the record, just ask the Gangs of England
Intellectual litigation, just ask the Gangs of England
And copyright inflation, just ask the Gangs of England
Press record if you want the record
So who's in for a chart conspiracy?
What happens if you count the downloads that are free
Well, I bought Q.P.R. and some Bowie stock
Pawned my Les Paul Jr, all my shit's in hock
And if you want the record, just ask the Gangs of England
Intellectual litigation, just ask the Gangs of England
And copyright inflation, just ask the Gangs of England
Press record if you want the record
You are my world tour in Dolly Parton's van
You are my obscene track that DJ's wanted banned
You are my sponsored deal that I should have left
You're my artistic patron that I have left bereft
And if you want the record, just ask the Gangs of England
Intellectual litigation, just ask the Gangs of England
And copyright inflation, just ask the Gangs of England
Press record if you want the record
Press record if you want the record
Press record if you want the record
Press record
We are the Gangs of England, we've come to make the record
We are the Gangs of England, we've come to make the record
We are the Gangs of England, we've come to make the record
We are the Gangs of England, we've come to make the record
We are the Gangs of England, we've come to make the record
We are the Gangs of England, we've come to make the record
We are the Gangs of England, we've come to make the record
We are the Gangs of England, we've come to make the record
