Hammond Albert Free Electric Band Lyrics

Free Electric Band Lyrics

My father is a doctor, he's a familiy man
My mother works for charity
whenever she can
They're both good clean Americans who abide by the
law
They both stick up for liberty and they both support the war.
My
happiness was paid for when they laid their money down
For summers in a
summercamp 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 handwashed shirts with neatly oiled 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 they clipped the ear of many idle
kid who went to sleep.
Till my father organised for me a college in the
east
But I went to California for 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 speculated upon their son's
career
A lawyer or a docter 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 pretty fast
On a
girl I met in Berkley in a social science class
Yes and we learned about her
body but her mind we did not know
Until deep routed 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.
Oooh the Free Electric Band.
