This song was a cover of a Bob Dylan song but I changed the music and the lyrics so now it's mine. That's also what the song is about.
lyrics
I wrote this song after your song and I'm hoping you won't mind
I had to change the music and I had to change the rhymes
I broke into your lyrics, I guess it's not a crime
It's an odd way of proceeding called writing through the lines
Try to catch me if you can I'm well disguised
Cause it ain't your song
It ain't your song, now it's mine
In the days you did the same thing, with Guthrie's songs allright
You taught me how to steal , and you taught me how to write
There's no need to feel sorry, no need to be polite
Folk music was meant to roam through space and time
Cause it ain't your song
It ain't your song, now it's mine
I'm not claiming I invented
Counterfeiting people's craft
The Greeks already did it
Then the monks and then Godard
Nothing's lost nothing's created
Is what I learnt about the arts
If you love it then you own it et voilà
Cause it ain't your song
It ain't your song, now it's mine

If you like your post-punk pissed off, wound up, and kind of weird, this Cleveland group's glitchy anti-work opus might just be for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 20, 2024
This Leipzig group makes mindbendingly great post-punk with tons of weird synth sounds adding to the demented funhouse feel. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2023
Razor-edged, scorched-throat songs that take a sledgehammer to rock & roll and reassemble the pieces into jagged, deadly pieces. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 5, 2021
