lyrics

I don't deserve this music
I stole it, how can I use it?
Well-meaning, but oh so proud
Insidious ways to play
Songstruck, and when in doubt
It's robbery day today
Always

I wrote a song to cleanse this
Made you my amanuensis
But yours was the voice at first
Your genesprung melody
Your history constructs the verse
The choruses, the key
You see

Well, there's no need to splain it to you
We've been around and you know what we do
We are the curse and we honour you
We 'honour' you

Consuming your music stripped from its bones
Deadened, condensed into echo earphones
This is a crime, at the end of the day
And so it merely remains to say

We don't deserve this music
We stole it, so we will use it
But yours was the voice at first
Insidious wins the day
Songstruck, and what a curse
It's robbery day today
Just play
