Dear WJhonson, Lyrics are sometimes included on disk jackets, album covers, etc.
Just because something is not accessible does not mean people have the right to pirate them, reproduce them, etc. Instead, the rarity of a material would make it even more legitimate to enforce the copyright. The lyrics are copyrighted. And you can copyright something and intend not to sell or distribute it, and you have the right to keep others from profiting off of it. Otherwise, authors and artists would have no ability to protect unreleased material, which is insane.
