You used to cough on me in Sterling
And then you’d cheat off my psets
Just cause you can do that
Don’t mean that I’m not upset

I didn’t think that that was cool
It made you come off as a tool
Now I think that you’re a dick
Also think you got me sick

Ever since I left from Sterling you
Started messing ‘round and breaking norms more
Those examples I just gave, they ain’t no folklore
And with trespassing norms you know there’s no recourse…

Cause ever since I left from Sterling you
Yeah you and me we just don’t get along
You didn’t break the law, but man, you did me wrong
You knew ‘bout that LaMacchia loophole all along…

You used to send me all these worms and
Gave me all these viruses
You were staring at your laptop
Messing up your irises

I know when we finished norms
We moved to codes and web platforms
We’re moving onto a new thing
In this version of “Hotline Bling”

Ever since I left the city you, you, you
Started staying in and writing code more
I know you’re tryna make it to the App Store
But damn that is some code I’ve never seen before

I used to yell about my garden
Your dog would eat my plants and die
But then we changed the coding
Now your dog can frolic fine

I know when that laptop bling
That can only mean one thing
Yeah I know when that laptop bling
That can only mean one thing

Now these days all I do is
Infringe upon your copyright, don’t make it transformative
Don’t use your work for parody or anything informative
Do things that make students ask questions that are normative
I’m breaking all these laws
You know I break all these laws, no
That doesn’t make any sense
Fair use is just a defense
It isn’t written into the law at all of our expense
It fucked over Perfect 10
Rural, Swatch Group, all our friends...

You used to learn all this in law tech
Talk about those laws, codes, norms
But what’s the implication?
Do these affect the way our culture forms?

I think that the answer’s yes
They’re making our culture progress
Norms might rule society
But laws and codes are here to stay

Ever since I learned the difference
