    this song is a very smart idea I had where I blatantly steal the melody and chords to the song "hallelujah" by leonard cohen/jeff buckley and change the words to be about how I stole it, as a statement about my support of fair use. fucking genius, man

lyrics

It’s true: I rip off everything, from films to records to books on tape. I even sample other singers sometimes. But, by building on this melody of voice sung in ascending keys, I will use it to make a point about a federal crime: What I’m singing is illegal if I choose to ever profit from it. I heard this song just yesterday when I was compiling my resume. A local soft rock radio station played it. It suddenly occurred to me to simply use that melody and change the words so I could say I made it. So I did that, because it’s a good song. I wish I wrote it. Hallelujah!
