Lyrics
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
Master of lightning, electric successor
Wirelessly dreamed of a better tomorrow
Inventor, futurist, idealist
Underrated in my time, but a true scientist
I was born in Croatia, 1856
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
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
Master of lightning, electric successor
Wirelessly dreamed of a better tomorrow
Inventor, futurist, idealist
Underrated in my time, but a true scientist
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
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
Master of lightning, electric successor
Wirelessly dreamed of a better tomorrow
Inventor, futurist, idealist
Underrated in my time, but a true scientist
Underrated in my time, but...
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
La la la la, la di da
La la la la, la di da
I'm Nikola, Nikola Tesla
Master of lightning, electric successor
Wirelessly dreamed of a better tomorrow
Inventor, futurist, idealist
Underrated in my time, but...
Underrated in my time, but...
