Ho-woah...

VERSE 1:
Zappin' it to ya
The pressure's everywhere
Goin' right through ya
The fever's in the air
Oh yeah, it's there!
Don't underestimate the power
of a lifetime ahead

CHORUS:
Electric youth
Feel the power, you see the energy
Comin' up
Coming on strong
The future only belongs
to the future itself/in the hands of itself
and the future is
Electric youth
It's true you can't fight it
Live by it
the next generation...

it's electric

VERSE 2:
We've got the most time
to make the world go round
Oh, can you spare a dime?
Place your bet on our sound
Come back to town
Don't lose sight of potential mastermind
Remember when you were young

CHORUS

it's electric

BRIDGE:
We do what comes naturally (naturally!)
You see now
wait for the possibility
Don't you see a strong resemblance
to yourself?(oh...)
Don't you think what we say is important?
Whatever it may be...
The fun is gonna start with me
'cause I'm bringing it back...

CHORUS

it's electrifying

Take it Fred!

CHORUS

it's electric, it's electric, it's electric

CHORUS

inflation
flirtation
relaxation
elation




generation of
an electric youth!

Lord, please bring back the 80's please....life was so cool back then.

@donbolognesi5004

En esos días había violencia, guerras y catástrofes así como hoy en día. Cada persona piensa que su época fue mejor.

@deathkampdrone

Well, it was a complicated time. Beautiful people everywhere, but then the whole AIDS thing as well. Surely better than the shithole that is the 21st century anyways

@kiwiadventures3773
