Electric Blues lyrics

[QUARTET OF TRIBE MEMBERS]
Tell me who do you love man?
Tell me what man?
Tell me what's it you love man?
Yeah

[TRIBE MEMBER]
An old-fashioned melody
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee

[QUARTET]
Tell me what's it that moves you?
Tell me what's it that grooves you?
Yeah

[TRIBE MEMBER]
An old-fashioned melody
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee
Dee-dee-dee

[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

[TRIBE MEMBER, simultaneously]
An old-fashioned melody
An old-fashioned melody
An old-fashioned melody
[QUARTET, simultaneously]
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

[QUARTET]
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
[TRIBE MEMBER, spoken]
Turn it up! Louder! Louder!

[QUARTET]
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
I got the electric-

[TRIBE MEMBER, spoken]
What the f*ck! I was singing!

[TRIBE MEMBER, spoken]
We blew the system!

[JEANIE, spoken]
Where's the fuse box?

[TRIBE MEMBER, spoken]
Nah, the whole city went dead

[TRIBE, spoken]
New York City blackout!
