But old songs leave you dead
We sell our souls for bread
[PAUL]
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 ya and brainwash you
When you least suspect it
And 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
Electrons explodin', rackety-clack
Whomp, plugged in, turned on

[PAUL]
An old-fashioned melody
[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 ya and brainwash you
When you least suspect it
And they feed ya mass media
The age is electric
I got the electric blues
