The Free Electric Band

Dans le style de

Albert Hammond

Paroles

my father is a doctor
he's a family man

my mother works for
charity whenever she can

they're both good
clean americans

who abide by the law

and they both stick
up for liberty

and they both would go to war

my happiness was
paid for when

they laid their money down

for summers in
a summer camp

and winters in the town

my future in the system
was talked about and planned

but i gave it up for music
and the free electric band

i went to
school in hand-washed

shirts with neatly ordered hair

and the school was
big and newly

built and filled with
light and air

and the teacher taught
us values that

we had to learn to keep

and he clipped the ear of many

idle kid who went to sleep

to my father organized for me
a college in the east

but i went to california
the sunshine and the beach

my parents and my
lecturers could

never understand

why i gave it up for music

and the free electric band

well they used to
sit and speculate

upon their son's career

a lawyer or a doctor
or a civil engineer

just give me bread and water
put a guitar in my hand

'cos all i need is music

and the free electric band

my father sent me money
and i spent it very fast

on a girl i met in berkeley
in a social science class

yes and we learned
about her body

but her mind we didn't know

until deep-rooted attitudes

and morals began to show

she wanted to get married
even though she never said

and i knew her well enough by
now to see inside her head

she'd settle for suburbia
and a little patch of land

so i gave her up for music
and the free electric band

ooh the free electric band
ooh the free electric band

ooh the free electric band
ooh the free electric band

ooh the free electric band

ooh the free electric band
