about

In this rather humorous track I explore the topic of plagiarism. To illustrate that, I sampled a speech I found online. Musically, it's inspired by Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein and Billie Eilish.

lyrics

"Let's just think about this for a second. What actually is plagiarism?"

Yeah, I take pieces of the whole
Glue it up to make something more
But the fabric's sometimes not mine
Though I make it somehow look like

And mind not to cross the foul line
Dodge another copyright strike

As if it wasn't enough to
Find some words to the rhythm
Do I really need to mind you
Can't get rid of plagiarism

"At least think about what benefits it offers but then also consider what costs."

Maybe I'll use some forgotten samples
Their licence is sometimes a gamble
All has been invented so
Copying two words must be alright

Keep holding on to let it go
Their combinations are finite

As if it wasn't enough to
Find some words to the rhythm
Do I really need to mind you
Can't get rid of plagiarism

As if it wasn't enough to
Find some words to the rhythm
Do I really need to mind you
Can't get rid of plagiarism

I steal
You steal
Everyone steals
I steal
You steal
Everyone fucking steals

"So just open your mind a little bit, maybe?"

As if it wasn't enough to
Find some words to the rhythm
Do I really need to mind you
Can't get rid of plagiarism

As if it wasn't enough to
Find some words to the rhythm
Do I really need to mind you
Can't get rid of plagiarism

"Plagiarism is not a crime. I like it..."
