lyrics

Back when the ancient funkonauts descended from above
A little group discovered greed and lost their will to love
Now it’s time to wake up, yeah you better be aware
There’s unfunky forces on the loose and they’re coming for their share

They like to slap a price tag on the things that once were free
And they like to keep the artists in a state of slavery
They don’t see any value in the things they cannot take
And they only like emotion when it’s bottled up and fake

And be careful, cuz they’re pressing all the buttons-
Hey you- no funkin around in here! -
That’s better….

As I was saying

They don’t like dancing and they’re not so into fun
They never syncopate and they don’t put it on the one
They’ll play as long as they can change the rules that guide the game
And they know that friendship fails compared to all important fame

They’ll sell a million souls if they can make another buck
while they cackle at the beggar as he’s running out of luck
They have lots of eyes and ears so they can catch you out of line
And take some of your things away and tag you with a fine

And watch out, cuz they’ve got evil robots (TARGET IDENTIFIED)
Hey- I said no funk!

THE MAN:
WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST
FROM THIS MOST HORRIFIC MAN
YOU CANNOT LISTEN TO HIS WORDS
HE’S MESSING WITH THE PLAN

WE HAVE THINGS TO SET YOUR MIND AT EASE
AND WE’LL TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR NEEDS
WE’RE NEVER STINGY WITH THE SLEAZE
OF COURSE, THERE’LL BE A FEW SMALL FEES

(JUST 5 EASY PAYMENTS OF 19.99!)

WE HAVE MUSIC, CINEMA, AND ART
BOOKS FOR WHEN YOU’RE FEELING SMART
TRY OUT OUR A I, YOU’LL LOVE THE BREEZE
IN OUR SIMULATION OF THE FLORIDA KEYS

CAPTAIN QUESO SHOULD KNOW BETTER
HE’S JUST ANOTHER LOWLY DEBTOR
JUST COME RIGHT THROUGH THIS DOOR WITH ME
WE’LL PUT YOU ON OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES

But thing about funk is it’s free
