《The Free Electric Band》歌词

[00:00:01] The Free Electric Band - Albert Hammond Jr

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

[00:00:12] A he's family man

[00:00:15] My mother works for charity

[00:00:17] Whenever she can

[00:00:19] They're both good clean Americans

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

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

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

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

[00:00:32] When they laid their money down

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

[00:00:36] And winters in the tow

[00:00:39] My future in the system

[00:00:41] Was talked about and planned

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

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

[00:00:57] Went I to school in hand-washed shirts

[00:01:00] With neatly ordered hair

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

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

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

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

[00:01:12] And he clipped the ear of many

[00:01:14] Idle kid who went to sleep

[00:01:17] Then my father organized for me

[00:01:19] A college in the east

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:42] And speculate upon their son's career

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:23] Until deep rooted attitudes

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

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

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

[00:02:32] But I knew her well enough by

[00:02:35] Now to see inside her head

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

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

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

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