From the city runs electricity in my brains,
from the cars runs gasoline up in my veins.
My blood intoxicated by twenty-seven trips,
my eyes hallucinated by the Holy Ghost I met.
When I talk
I cannot talk,
only gotta sing loud, loud
the crazy pop rock,
only gotta sing loud, loud
the crazy pop rock.
From the city runs electricity in my brains,
from the cars runs gasoline up in my veins.
I’m part of the problem, I’m not the solution,
I’m really the product of city pollution.
From the city runs electricity in my brains,
from the cars runs gasoline up in my veins.
Oh yeah!
Baby, baby, baby, I’m the electric man
come and get a shock, I’m the electric man.
Musicada e gravada por Gilberto Gil no álbum Gilberto Gil (1970)
