The ED Lyrics for Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

I want my...
I want my...
I want my DBE!

Now look at them yo yo's, that's the way you do it,
You fire away in your DBE.
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it.
Credits for nothin', and your rep for free.

Now that ain't workin', That's the way you do it,
Lemme tell ya, them pilots ain't dumb.
Maybe get a blaster on your smaller hardpoints,
Maybe get a blaster on your bigger one.

[Chorus]
We got to install some high power weapons,
Engineered plasma deliveries.
We got to fire these multi-cannons,
We got to fire these long range vent beams.

[Verse 2]
See the new player with the taboo and the makeup?
Yeah buddy, that's his holo-me hair.
That's a new player has his own Anaconda.
He won't last very long out there.

[Chorus]
We got to install some high power weapons,
Engineered plasma deliveries.
We got to fire these multi-cannons,
We got to fire these long range vent beams.

[Chorus]
Gotta install some high power weapons,
Engineered plasma deliveries.
He's gotta fire these multi-cannons,
Got to fire these long range vent beams.
Fire away, fly away.

[Verse 3]
I shoulda learned to setup my fire groups.
I shoulda learned to manage my PIPS.
Look at that Cutter, got it stickin' to the bad guys,
Man, we could have some fun.
And he's up there, What's that? Heavy metal music?
He's bangin' on the bad guys and their ships are done.
Oh, that ain't workin', That's the way you do it,
Get your credits for nothin', and your rep for free.

[Chorus]
We got to install some high power weapons,
Engineered plasma deliveries.
We got to fire these multi-cannons,
We got to fire these long range vent beams.

[Verse 4]
Listen here
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it.
You fire your weapons in a High CZ.
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it.
Find some friends while flying your DBE.

I want my...
I want my...
I want my DBE!

While playing in the current Community Goal at HIP 54530 listening to Dire Straits - Money for Nothing and I'm getting a lot more kills! Music does inspire. I used a DBE as it rhymes with the lyrics. I fly a FDL in the CZ. Moderators note that I cleaned up the actual lyrics so please no hit points. Have fun with the tune in a CZ goal.

There are musicians out there who play ED and record tunes like this with ED lyrics. Maybe they can improve on my first draft. You can get the music video on YouTube.You can get the mp3 tune in many different ways.

Regards

I went looking through Dropbox to find them, that's why I found the War Of The Worlds parody.
The lost MP3s are somewhere, I might find them.
I have international friend's that can find any MP3 tunes ever posted on the Internet.
