(A song about the theft of intellectual property.)
I went down to the corner, wiped the sweat from my eyes
Now my vision is clear and I realize
How you preyed upon me, how you stole from my heart
The song within me, I was damned from the start
Now I'm twisting and turning, I'm losing my mind
The things that were stolen, I just can't find
So cut me a break and throw me a line
Don't hold me forever, just doing time
You dampened the spark that flickered within
And hope is now faded, like ol' tattooed skin
I lost all my rights with the stroke of a pen
When I get them back I won't lose them again
So I'm twisting and turning, I'm losing my mind
The things that were stolen, I just can't find
So cut me a break and throw me a line
Don't hold me forever, just doing time
