The Free Electric Band - Albert Hammond Jr[00:00:00]

My father is a doctor [00:00:10]

He's a family man[00:00:12]

My mother works for charity whenever she can[00:00:15]

They're both good clean Americans[00:00:20]

Who abide by the law[00:00:22]

And they both stick up for liberty[00:00:24]

And they both support the war[00:00:27]

My happiness was paid for[00:00:29]

When they laid their money down[00:00:31]

For summers in a summer camp[00:00:34]

And winters in the tow[00:00:37]

My future in the system was talked about and planned[00:00:39]

But I gave it up for music[00:00:44]

And the free electric band[00:00:46]

I went to school in hand-washed shirts with neatly ordered hair[00:00:57]

And the school was big and newly built[00:01:02]

And filled with light and air[00:01:05]

And the teacher taught us values[00:01:07]

That we had to learn to keep[00:01:09]

And he clipped the ear of many idle kid who went to sleep[00:01:12]

Then my father organized for me a college in the east[00:01:17]

But I went to California [00:01:22]

The sunshine and the beach[00:01:24]

My parents and my lecturers could never understand[00:01:27]

Why I gave it up for music[00:01:32]

And the free electric band[00:01:34]

Well they used to sit[00:01:40]

And speculate upon their son's career[00:01:41]

A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer[00:01:45]

Just give me bread and water [00:01:50]

Put a guitar in my hand[00:01:52]

'Cause all I need is music[00:01:55]

And the free electric band[00:01:57]

My father sent me money [00:02:08]

And I spent it very fast[00:02:10]

On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class[00:02:13]

Yes and we learnt about her body [00:02:18]

But her mind we didn't know[00:02:20]

Until deep rooted attitudes[00:02:23]

And morals began to show[00:02:25]

She wanted to get married[00:02:28]

Even though she never said[00:02:30]

But I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head[00:02:32]

She'd settle for suburbia[00:02:37]

And a little patch of land[00:02:40]

So I gave her up for music[00:02:42]

And the free electric band[00:02:45]

The free electric band[00:02:53]

The free electric band[00:02:58]

The free electric band[00:03:03]

The free electric band[00:03:08]

The free electric band[00:03:12]

The free electric band[00:03:17]
