The Free Electric Band
Albert Louis Hammond, Mike Hazlewood
Our father is a doctor, he's a family man
My mother works for charity whenever she can
And they're both good clean Americans who abide by the law
And they both stick up for liberty and they both support the war
My happiness was paid for when they laid their money down
For summers in a summer camp and winters in the town
Our future in the system was talked about and planned
But I gave it up for music and the free electric band
I went to school in hand-washed shirts with neatly ordered hair
And the school was big and newly built and filled with light and air
And the teachers taught us values that we had to learn to keep
And they'd clip the ear of any idle kid who went to sleep
And my father organized for me a college in the east
But I went to California, the sunshine and the beach
My parents and my lecturers could never understand
Why I gave it up for music and the free electric band
Well, they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career
A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer
Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand
'Cause all I need is music and the free electric band
My father sent me money and I spent it very fast
On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class
Yes, and we learned about her body but her mind we didn't know
Until deep-rooted attitudes and morals began to show
She wanted to get married even though she never said
And I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head
She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land
So I gave her up for music and the free electric band
Ooh, the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Our father is a doctor, he's a family man
Unser Vater ist Arzt, er ist ein Familienmensch
My mother works for charity whenever she can
Meine Mutter arbeitet für Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen, wann immer sie kann
And they're both good clean Americans who abide by the law
Und sie sind beide gute, saubere Amerikaner, die sich an das Gesetz halten
And they both stick up for liberty and they both support the war
Und sie setzen sich beide für die Freiheit ein und unterstützen beide den Krieg
My happiness was paid for when they laid their money down
Mein Glück wurde bezahlt, als sie ihr Geld hinlegten
For summers in a summer camp and winters in the town
Für Sommer in einem Sommercamp und Winter in der Stadt
Our future in the system was talked about and planned
Unsere Zukunft im System wurde besprochen und geplant
But I gave it up for music and the free electric band
Aber ich gab es auf für die Musik und die freie elektrische Band
I went to school in hand-washed shirts with neatly ordered hair
Ich ging zur Schule in handgewaschenen Hemden mit ordentlich gekämmten Haaren
And the school was big and newly built and filled with light and air
Und die Schule war groß und neu gebaut und voller Licht und Luft
And the teachers taught us values that we had to learn to keep
Und die Lehrer lehrten uns Werte, die wir lernen mussten zu bewahren
And they'd clip the ear of any idle kid who went to sleep
Und sie würden jedem faulen Kind, das einschlief, das Ohr zupfen
And my father organized for me a college in the east
Und mein Vater organisierte für mich ein College im Osten
But I went to California, the sunshine and the beach
Aber ich ging nach Kalifornien, die Sonne und der Strand
My parents and my lecturers could never understand
Meine Eltern und meine Dozenten konnten nie verstehen
Why I gave it up for music and the free electric band
Warum ich es aufgab für die Musik und die freie elektrische Band
Well, they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career
Nun, sie pflegten zu sitzen und über die Karriere ihres Sohnes zu spekulieren
A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer
Ein Anwalt oder ein Arzt oder ein Bauingenieur
Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand
Gib mir nur Brot und Wasser, leg eine Gitarre in meine Hand
'Cause all I need is music and the free electric band
Denn alles, was ich brauche, ist Musik und die freie elektrische Band
My father sent me money and I spent it very fast
Mein Vater schickte mir Geld und ich gab es sehr schnell aus
On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class
An ein Mädchen, das ich in Berkeley in einem Sozialwissenschaftskurs kennenlernte
Yes, and we learned about her body but her mind we didn't know
Ja, und wir lernten ihren Körper kennen, aber ihren Geist kannten wir nicht
Until deep-rooted attitudes and morals began to show
Bis tief verwurzelte Einstellungen und Moralvorstellungen zum Vorschein kamen
She wanted to get married even though she never said
Sie wollte heiraten, obwohl sie es nie sagte
And I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head
Und ich kannte sie mittlerweile gut genug, um in ihren Kopf zu sehen
She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land
Sie würde sich mit der Vorstadt und einem kleinen Stück Land zufrieden geben
So I gave her up for music and the free electric band
Also gab ich sie auf für die Musik und die freie elektrische Band
Ooh, the free electric band
Ooh, die freie elektrische Band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee mit der freien elektrischen Band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band

And the teachers taught us values that we had to learn to keep
E os professores nos ensinaram valores que tínhamos que aprender a manter

E eles beliscavam a orelha de qualquer criança preguiçosa que adormecesse
And my father organized for me a college in the east
E meu pai organizou para mim uma faculdade no leste
But I went to California, the sunshine and the beach
Mas eu fui para a Califórnia, o sol e a praia
My parents and my lecturers could never understand

Why I gave it up for music and the free electric band

Well, they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career

A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer

Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand
Apenas me dê pão e água, coloque um violão na minha mão
'Cause all I need is music and the free electric band
Porque tudo que eu preciso é música e a banda elétrica gratuita
My father sent me money and I spent it very fast
Meu pai me enviou dinheiro e eu gastei muito rápido
On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class
Em uma garota que conheci em Berkeley em uma aula de ciências sociais
Yes, and we learned about her body but her mind we didn't know
Sim, e aprendemos sobre o corpo dela, mas não sabíamos sobre a mente dela
Until deep-rooted attitudes and morals began to show
Até que atitudes e morais profundamente enraizadas começaram a aparecer
She wanted to get married even though she never said
Ela queria se casar, mesmo que nunca tenha dito
And I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head
E eu a conhecia bem o suficiente agora para ver dentro de sua cabeça
She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land
Ela se contentaria com a vida suburbana e um pequeno pedaço de terra
So I gave her up for music and the free electric band
Então eu a deixei pela música e pela banda elétrica gratuita
Ooh, the free electric band
Ooh, a banda elétrica gratuita
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band

A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer
Un avvocato o un dottore o un ingegnere civile
Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand
Dammi solo pane e acqua, metti una chitarra nelle mie mani
'Cause all I need is music and the free electric band

She wanted to get married even though she never said

And I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head
E la conoscevo abbastanza bene ormai per vedere dentro la sua testa
She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land
Si sarebbe accontentata della periferia e di un piccolo pezzo di terra
So I gave her up for music and the free electric band
Così l'ho lasciata per la musica e la libera banda elettrica
Ooh, the free electric band

'Cause all I need is music and the free electric band

My father sent me money and I spent it very fast

On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science class

Until deep-rooted attitudes and morals began to show

She wanted to get married even though she never said
Dia ingin menikah meskipun dia tidak pernah mengatakannya
And I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head
Dan saya sudah mengenalnya cukup baik untuk melihat ke dalam kepalanya

A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer
