Net Neutrality - Dan Bull

The world wide web is under attack

They’re taking it away but we’re pulling it back

The world wide web is under attack

They’re taking it away but we’re pulling it back

So the FCC won’t let me be

They wanna stack the deck for the ISPs

But we got a couple of tricks up our sleeves

It’s far too important to leave to police

It could lead to the streets

A breach of the peace

And even decrease our freedom of speech

There’s never been a bigger reason to read up

And see what’s agreed ‘cause of greed for the green and deceit

The greener the leaf, the sweeter the tree

The quicker they’ll chop it down and leave nothing but tree stumps

Debris

The Damage is done, no refund received

See, the thing about net neutrality

Is unless you get huge salaries

The paramedic won’t rescue casualties

‘Til they’ve seen to the rich next dude’s allergies

They’ll prioritize cash over content

Wanna send one bit?

That’s one sent

What nonsense, man it’s scaring me

A planet of plenty’s selling scarcity

Innovation paved the way

Now invaders are paying to take it away

But they ain’t gonna make it today

Letting that happen’s a major mistake

If Lessig was rapping he’d tell you the same

Letting that happen’s a major mistake

Tim Berners Lee baked us a cake

And they’ve taken the cherry AND THE CAKE!!!

Discrimination is happening today

To blacks and to gays and to packets of data

Though ethically they’re exactly the same

So oi, we’re not gonna stand for it mate

U wot?

The fok u sayin bruv?

U wot m8???

The fok u saying bruv?

U wot?

Fak off u arsehole

The world wide web is under attack

The world wide web is under attack

They’re taking it away but we’re pulling it back

I’m from the place John Oliver came from

Where no matter where you live you should be singing the same song

At long last, I’m putting Comcast on blast

‘Cause they never learned their lesson like they’re in the wrong class

Well I’m the professor and I’m setting you with one task

Get ‘em knocked back like a shot glass

Straight in front of me’s a cable company

The way they’re behaving’s unbelievable

Comcast is in league with the Devil

And it’s pissing me off, I’m not even American

Take a peek, see from the evidence

Netflix had to pay a fee to get better links

It’s a shakedown, communication breakdown

There’s a bully in the playground

I had enough of that at school, won’t lay down

Lay a finger on me: you’ll be laid out

You’ll be laid out

You’ll be laid out

You’ll be laid out

You’ll be laid out

You’ll be laid out

Lay a finger on me: You’ll be laid out

The world wide web is under attack

They’re taking it away but we’re pulling it back

The world wide web is under attack

They’re taking it away but we’re pulling it back

Taking it back, taking it back

We’re taking it, we’re taking it back
