[QUARTET]
But old songs leave you dead
We sell our souls for bread
We're all encased in sonic armor
Beltin' it out through chrome grenades
Miles and miles of medusan chord
The electronic sonic boom

It's what's happening, baby
It's where it's at, daddy

They chain 'ya and brainwash you
When you least suspect it
They feed ya mass media
The age is electric

I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues

Thwump, rackety whomp rock
Folk rock, rhythm and blues

Electronics explodin', rackety clack
Whomp, plugged in, turned on
Rackety shwump whoomp, rock
Folk rock, rhythm and blues
Thwump, rackety clack
Whoomp, whump, poof
Caved in, caved in, yes caved in
