Galt MacDermot - Electric Blues lyrics

Tell me who do you love man? Tell me what man? Tell me what's it you love man? An old fashioned melody Tell me what's it that moves you? Tell me what's it that grooves you? An old fashioned melody 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 ya When you least suspect it They feed ya ma** media The age is electric I got the electric blues I got the electric blues Thwump... rackety... whomp Rock... folk rock... rhythm and blues Electronics explodin'... rackety-clack Thwump... rackety... whomp Plugged in... turned on 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 ya When you least suspect it They feed ya ma** media The age is electric I got the electric blues I got the electric blues
