Too late.
I already have a band that I write for, and that already is a song.
And there are a few ways you can get things "copyrighted"
You could pay to have it copyrighted, but there are easier ways. Having something copyrighted basically means being able to prove that you wrote it before the person who is stealing it wrote it.
For example, if I publish this poem at deviantart.com (which I did), it says "copyright 2005" at the bottom of it.
What I like to do is take all my complete works, seal them in an envelope, them take it to the post office and mail it to myself and never open it. If I see that someone has taken my work, then I just seek legal action, show them the post marked envelope, and I would win because the date would be on it.
