Mind's Eye Lyrics

Has anyone else noticed this song completely rips off London Calling by The Clash? The first time I heard it, I actually thought it was a cover. What do think goes through someone's mind when they are plaigarizing one of the most famous songs in Rock history? Is it; "Maybe no one will notice?"

Funny enough, I downloaded both of these songs at the same time, and so I heard them in a fairly short proximity when I was listening to my Recently Added playlist. The opening beats are VERY similar--so similar I couldn't tell them apart when they started playing. However, I feel like they're just slightly different enough in rhythm, and very different in tone, not to be a rip-off. I doubt the similarity was intentional.

But yeah, pretty bad-ass song. Love him.
