Tell me, who do you love, man?
Tell me what, man
Tell me, what's it you love, man?
Yeah
[Paul]
An old-fashioned melody

Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee
[Quartet]
Tell me, what's it that moves you?
Tell me, what's it that grooves you?
Yeah

An old-fashioned melody
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee
Oh

But old songs leave you dead
And we sell our souls for bread

Oh
[Quartet]
We're all encased in sonic armor, beltin' it out through chrome grenades
Miles and miles of Medusan chords, the electronic sonic boom
It's what's happenin', baby
It's where it's at, daddy
They chain you and brainwash you when you least suspect it
And they feed you 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
[Quartet & Paul]
Thwump rackety whomp rock, folk rock, rhythm and blues (An old-fashioned melody)
Electrons explodin', rackety-clack, whomp, plugged in, turned on (An old-fashioned melody)
Rackety shwump whoomp rock, folk rock, rhythm and blues (An old-fashioned melody)
Thwump rackety clack, whoomp whump poof, yeah
[Quartet]
We're all encased in sonic armor, beltin' it out through chrome grenades
Miles and miles of Medusan chords, the electronic sonic boom
It's what's happenin', baby
It's where it's at, daddy
They chain you and brainwash you when you least suspect it
And they feed you mass media, the age is electric
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
