Lyrics
Everything that sparkles, shines or plugs into the wall—
It seems like magic, but it’s probably just electrical.
Currents come direct, but better through alternation,
But Edison bullied science with public relations.
Thomas Edison murdered Topsy Elephant.
Edison fried Topsy when he starred in the first film
He claimed AC was dangerous, and he made a chair that kills.
Thomas Edison murdered Topsy Elephant.
Boredom is a right murdered by electric light.
Westinghouse and Tesla wanted power inexhaustible—
That means the sun, but robber barons still tell you, “clean coal.”
If it makes them a dollar, they’ll pretend they’re ignorant,
Sell power with lies, just like Edison and the elephant.
Thomas Edison murdered Topsy Elephant.
Boredom is a right murdered by electric light.
