Lyrics
Doctor Of Electricity
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Things just don't seem the same
I'm not saying who's to blame
You might say my loss is your gain
It's all in vain.
I've been walking all across creation
All across the nation
Just to get back home
(Just to get back home)
To get a loan.
(Just to get a loan)
Mighty armies of gasoline attendants
Come to wipe my windows clean.
I can hear them laughing,
Their jokes are a riot.
Something is changing
And it's breaking the machine,
Oh, breaking the machine,
Oh, breaking the machine.
Oh, see it on my television,
Hear it on my radio
Hold it in the palm of my hand.
In every city voices are talking
In language you can't understand,
Voices are talking in language you can't understand,
I can't understand the voices, voices, yeah.
Come and join us
Come and join us
Come and join us
Come and join us, come and join us
Come and join us, come and join us
Come and join us, come and join us
Come and join us, come and join us
In the streets and universities
Binding up and setting free
The power of a million suns
To change the way it is to be
Is to be
Is to be
Is to be!
