john forster - fusion lyrics

fusion
the intermingling of two musics
i say it’s the music of the future
and hey, i oughta know

have you heard my latest album?
it’s a masterpiece of fusion
just a masterpiece of fusion, if i do say so myself
a true collaboration of the heaviest musicians on the planet

that’s sakimoto playing the bamboo flute; he’s a monster
and picho zuptabuma’s on a vira; check it out
and over on the cab-ssa; who is that on the cab-ssa?
oh yeah; that’s the guy who drove me in from the airport
i forget his name, but he’s a monster too

we’re all just monsters of fusion
we’re intermingling our musics
in a welter of ethnic confusion

this pretty tune was written by hans leo h-ssler in 1599
i wrote some words and changed about three notes
now ascap says it’s mine
i love constructing albums from objects that i find

from all kinds of folk riffs that’re just sort of out there
n0body owns them, they’re in public domain
and the foreign musicians who play those folk riffs
well, they’re just grist for my fevered brain

mamma don’t take my copyright
gimme that folk riff copyright
mamma don’t take my copyright from me

there’ve been slurs and innuendos
there’ve been nasty little comments
i don’t bother to respond to them; they roll right off my back
i’m well aware that there’s an element you could call exploitation
in the way that i appropriate the cultures of these peoples for my own commercial purposes
but everyone who works for me gets credit, and royalties, and grammies
and a chance to ride to stardom on my coattails
but hey, let’s just remember who’s the g*nius here

who is the master of fusion
fusion
it’s a matter of finders keepers
’cause there ain’t no copyrights in fusion
fusion
we’re all just rippin’ off each other
in a jungle of ethical confusion
fusion
and it’s a h-ll of a lot of fun, fun
a h-ll of a lot of fun, fun
fusion
i’m thinkin’ this song is a labalber (?)
