Ehh, they lyrics are similar, but not really close enough to call it a copy.
Even then, is it reallly fair to claim copyright of a couple phrases? Is Nike suing Shia LeBeauof for saying "JUST DO IT" in his video?

To be called the writer of that song is so incongrous, and to demand that position is stupid.

I deleted all social media?
