My father is a doctor, he's a family man |
| [00:15.00] |
My mother works for charity whenever she can |
| [00:19.83] |
And they 're bothgood clean Americans who abide by the law |
| [00:24.48] |
And they both stick up for liberty and they both support the war |
| [00:29.32] |
My happiness was paid for when they laid their money down |
| [00:34.15] |
For summers in a summer camp and winters in the town |
| [00:39.04] |
My future in the system was talked about and planned |
| [00:43.90] |
But I gave it up for music and The Free Electric Band |
| [00:50.96] |
|
| [00:57.70] |
I went to school in hand-washed shirts with neatly ordered hair |
| [01:02.35] |
And the school was big ang newly built and filled whith light and air |
| [01:06.84] |
And the teachers taught us values that we had to learn to keep |
| [01:12.10] |
And they'd clip the ear of any idle kid who went to sleep |
| [01:16.57] |
And my father organised for me a college in the east |
| [01:21.63] |
But I went to Clifornia, the sunshine and the beach |
| [01:26.71] |
My parents and my lecturers could never understand |
| [01:31.47] |
Why I gave it up for music and The Free Electric Band |
| [01:40.05] |
Well,they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career |
| [01:44.97] |
A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineers |
| [01:49.88] |
Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand |
| [01:54.81] |
Cause all I need is music and The Free Electric Band |
| [02:01.12] |
|
| [02:07.88] |
My father sent me money and I spent it very fast |
| [02:12.78] |
On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class |
| [02:17.06] |
Yes, and we learnt about her body but her mind we didn't know |
| [02:22.49] |
Until deep rooted attitudes and morals began to |
| [02:27.45] |
She wanted to get married even though she never said |
| [02:32.20] |
But I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head |
| [02:37.14] |
She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land |
| [02:41.90] |
So I gave her up for music and The Free Electric Band |
| [02:49.07] |
|
| [02:50.31] |
Ooh...The Free Electric Band |
