## Manifesto: Lyrics for the World

For 30 years, all I’ve done is write lyrics. I don’t sing. I don’t play instruments. I don’t make music myself — I write words. That’s all I do. Now, I give them to you. Take these words. Turn them into songs. Add your voice, your music, your soul. Reorder them. Rewrite them. Combine them. Make them yours.

### Your Ownership, Your Power

Everything you add — music, performance, new lyrics, arrangements — is 100% yours. You own it. You profit from it. You control it. The blockchain records your work, protects your rights, and tracks revenue from anything you helped create, including future remixes and derivative songs. This creates a bottom-up revenue system, so every contributor benefits from their own creativity and from songs they helped build.

### Rules That Free You

My words in this collection are free to use for making songs. My lyrics cannot be reproduced and sold separately in physical form as a book by any one other than the original author Tom Jensen. However, the contents of both books shall remain accessible through private websites, public forums and/or platforms so that no pay wall shall ever block anyone from them. You might need the internet — but they will remain part of the song-making ecosystem.

You cannot sell or transfer your song in ways that violate this free-use system. Your videos, liner notes, and performances are yours to control.

### My Rights

I retain the right to turn my own lyrics into music and profit from it. But this system ensures that anyone, anywhere, can take my words and make real music — live, online, in the studio, wherever — with full credit and fair participation.

### The Bottom Line

My lyrics are free. Your music is yours. Blockchain ensures fairness. Every contributor earns from their work. Everyone can participate, everyone can profit, everyone can create. Together, we build songs from the bottom up, not the top down.

(18/35) — Project Summaries of Varying Lengths. Multiple versions of the project overview written at different depths — short, medium, and long. Use whichever length fits the conversation. Same core idea, different levels of detail depending on who you are talking to.

(19/35) — Business Plan and 21 Page Summary. The full business plan covering the industry model, how the free-lyrics-plus-owned-music system works, revenue streams, the blockchain attribution framework, and what Tom is looking for in partners and venues. The 21-page summary is the version to hand to anyone serious.

(21/35) — Lyric Use Certificate. The official printable attribution agreement. Any musician who wants to use these lyrics fills this out to register their use, credit Tom and all prior contributors, and enter the chain. This is the legal and operational backbone of the whole system.

(22/35) — What Tom Wants. A direct, plain-language statement of exactly what Tom is looking for — venues, collaborators, musicians, partners, and how to get involved. No ambiguity. Read this if you want to know how to connect or what the next step actually looks like.
