Elektrisitet - deLillos

Jeg så det på blikket til min bestefar

Og de va’kke fordi han var så gammel og rar

Da han slo på en bryter og ble imponert

Av at rommet ble opplyst av elektrisitet

Han hadde jo levet en tid uten strøm

Så han opplevde dette hver gang som en drøm

Nå kunne han styre over tiden sin selv

Og fortsette dagen til langt ut på kveld

Han gledet seg stort over utviklingen

Og følte nok selv at han deltok i den

Men det skjedde noe som var utenfor hans kontroll

Og dette kalte man en natt for Rock’n Roll

Unge mennesker begynte straks å dyrke seg selv

Ville ikke ta ansvar over styre og stell

Og verden ble nok aldri slik som den var

Da elektrisiteten ga sin makt til en gitar

Og noen trodde at de så på Jesus Krist

Der oppe på scenen han var solo gitarist

Og bestefar sa at de var noen fjols alle sammen

Idioter

I saw it in my grandfather's eyes

And they woke up because he was so old and weird

When he hit a switch and was impressed

Because the room was lit by electricity

He had lived for a time without electricity

So he experienced this every time as a dream

Now he could control his own time

And continue the day until well into the evening

He was very pleased with the development

And probably even felt that he participated in it

But something happened that was beyond his control

And this was called Rock'n Roll one night

Young people immediately began to cultivate themselves

Would not take responsibility for board and care

And the world probably never became the way it was

Then the electricity gave its power to a guitar

And some thought they were looking at Jesus Christ

Up on stage he was a solo guitarist

And Grandpa said they were all some fools

Idiots
