I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!

Throw me in jail! I just committed a crime!

"Unauthorised use of lyrics and tablature deprives the songwriter of the ability to make a living, and is no different than stealing," he said.

"Unauthorised use of lyrics". These words are making me cringe. Seriously, what's next for the MPA? (Music Publisher's Association)? Restraints on campfire singalongs, singing your child a lullaby without a written contract from the original artist?

I realise that the world is slowly heading for the gaping jaws of hell. It's unavoidable; human stupidity, ignorance and egomania is slowly killing us all, but what's really ticking me off is certain people's eagerness in jamming the gas-pedal to the floor.
