Young dev
There’s no point now to cry
I said, young dev
Might as well not have tried
I said, young dev
Cause until Ninty’s died
You don’t get to make no fan games

Young dev
They’ll just shut it all down
I said, young dev
Change your name and leave town
Cause it’s over
Best brush up on the laws
Pack it up and change domains cause

You violated the DMCA
You’re gonna get it now, DMCA
You had everything ninety-nine percent done
Then they put an end to your fun
I can’t believe it’s a DMCA
You’re fucking kidding me, a DMCA
You can pour in your soul; you can give it your all
‘Til you run into that brick wall

Young dev
Give it all that you got
I said, young dev
But releasing, it’s not
I said, young dev
Heed this lesson they’ve taught
That you can’t borrow an IP

Young dev
Keep it under your hat
I said, young dev
That you’re workin’ on that
Or else you might
Get a DMCA
Until then you’ll just have to pray

Nintendo’s sending you a DMCA
I hope it doesn’t get a DMCA
If you’re gonna infringe on a copyright, well
Then you probably shouldn’t tell
Cease and desist cause it’s a DMCA
You know I’m talking ‘bout a DMCA
You just wanted to make something cool for the fans
‘Til they slapped it out of your hands

Young dev
I was once just like you
I said, I know
What it’s like to get screwed
I was working
On a project like yours
Hopin’ that it would open doors

That’s when
Someone came up to me
And said, young dev
Why you working for free?
There’s a place where
You can make what you earn
And you won’t have to get burned

So now I’m working for S-E-G-A
Don’t have to deal with no DMCA
You can make some fun games, doin’ work you enjoy
You can feel like one of the boys
DMCA
No I’m not worried ‘bout a DMCA
Young dev, young dev
You can do what you love
Young dev, young dev
And when push comes to shove
DMCA
No there won’t be any DMCA
Young dev, young dev
There’s no need to feel robbed
Young dev, young dev
Let’s go get you a job
DMCA…
