lyrics

Bad Voltage Blues
Electrocute or diffuse
System's overloading, don't you disapprove
All you got going boy is the dirt beneath your shoes
The ground is broke, so the current soaks
Sets you up at 60 cycle buzz delight no quiet crack the fuse
What you got is the bad voltage blues
The breaker flips and the power strips
Don’t go to the overload for a therapeutic fix - you might call it quits
It's bad voltage
Pick up that plug, plug it in real snug
Shocking cracking shreds of static feeding back and smoking burnt and blue
Not sure what is happening or what we're going to do
Magnetic poles resist control
Zero of potential courteous and cold
The charge is lit - isn't it bad voltage
Power goes untamed so the hum remains
Alternating current can't you take the blame - it can't be fixed
It's bad voltage

This band of seasoned songwriting fanatics is dedicated to a collaborative mindset. ... more
