Electric Foundation Lyrics

Well, I had it rough

I had it bad

But that doesn't mean

I need to be sad

take it from me

You're where you should be

In this world together

It's not you and me

You look at me, and you're lonely

I look at you, and it's only

Perpetual one step at a time

Your individual sub-human divide

I take a chance with the girl in the back

Buried in book waiting for a whack

She looks my way and it's over

I look at her and I drop my clover

Will I ever really get my chance

Or am I stuck doing a samba dance

Boy and girl get together

Oh, I don't want to live forever

When did this become a love song

Oh, whatever

Now teach me that

Electric foundation

Pent up frustration

Struggle of everyday life

False accusation

Tax evasion

Simple things that aren't right

I know how these things go, oh, oh, oh

I know how these things go, oh, oh, oh

I know how these things go, oh, oh, oh

I keep my eyes closed in the moment

If they were open I know I'd repent

You call me up and seem enthusiastic

Facade you smile, how very tragic

I wait for you on the other end

It's a silly game, I like to pretend

That I'm the bad guy and you're the hero

That I'm a hundred and you're at zero

This little chat has come to an end

Lasted longer then I would intend

Boy and girl get together

Oh, I don't want to live forever

When did this become a love song

Oh, whatever

Now teach me that

Electric foundation

Pent up frustration

Struggle of everyday life

False accusation

Tax evasion

Simple things that aren't right

My generation

Station to station

References that go nowhere

Miscommunication

Corporation

All things you're better off with

Electric foundation (take me for a ride)

Pent up frustration

Struggle of everyday life (take me for a ride)

False accusation (take me on a ride to nowhere)

Tax evasion

Simple things that aren't right

take me for a ride

take me for a ride

take me for a ride to nowhere

I know how these things go, oh, oh, oh

I know how these things go, oh, oh, oh

I know how these things go, oh, oh, oh

I know how these things go, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

Ooh
