Lyrics
[1800's Ragtime-instrumental]
[Bass Drop]
[Techno-Instrumental]
[Verse]
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
[Pre-Chorus]
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
[Chorus]
Master of lightning, electric successor
Wirelessly dreamed of a better tomorrow
Inventor, futurist, idealist
Underrated in my time, but a true scientist
[Verse 1]
I was born in Croatia, Eighteen-Fifty-Six
A mind ahead of my time,
Destined to switch the world on,
Illuminate our reality
With visionary dreams of electricity
I studied in Graz, my genius quickly showed
Professors said my questions overflowed
I worked in Budapest, then off to France
Ready to take the world, and advance
[Pre-Chorus]
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
[Chorus]
Master of lightning, electric successor
Wirelessly dreamed of a better tomorrow
Inventor, futurist, idealist
Underrated in my time, but a true scientist
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
I set sail for the States, with just some clothes and poems
Ready to meet Edison, and show him
My AC motor, a major innovation
But Thomas shut me down, and caused frustration
So I went solo, to follow my own path
Pioneering fluorescents, and the Tesla coil's wrath
Radio, x-rays, I was on to it first
But others often stole my work, and made it worse
[Pre-Chorus]
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
[Chorus]
Master of lightning, electric successor
Wirelessly dreamed of a better tomorrow
Inventor, futurist, idealist
Underrated in my time, but a true scientist
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
As rivals got rich, I struggled for funds
I had a world-changing mind, but was stunned
When Marconi took credit for the radio
It broke my spirit, and my cash flow
I fed pigeons in the park, slowly faded from view
A man out of time, but with visions true
I died alone in a hotel room, my potential unmet
But now I'm recognized, as one of the best
[Pre-Chorus]
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
[Chorus]
Master of lightning, electric successor
Wirelessly dreamed of a better tomorrow
Inventor, futurist, idealist
Underrated in my time, but a true scientist
[Instrumental]
