Hoarders can get piles of money,
That is true, hackers, that is true.
But they cannot help their neighbors;
That's not good, hackers, that's not good.
That is true, hackers, that is true.
But they cannot help their neighbors;
That's not good, hackers, that's not good.
When we have enough free software
At our call, hackers, at our call,
We'll kick out those dirty licenses
Ever more, hackers, ever more.

This song is in a rhythm of 7/8; those unaccustomed to odd rhythmsoften take the unevenness to be a mistake. The meter can be analyzedinto three subgroups as slow-quick-quick or 3-2-2. Such meters inBulgarian music can often be stretched, and some musicians analyzethis song as 3-2-3 instead; however, Yves Moreau, who collected andtaught the dance, endorses the rhythm of 7.
