Since Benji Franks went and flew that kite
we've had an energetic appetite!
In a hundred years it won't seem so strange
we’re gonna harness charge to make a change!
The future is electric!
You’re invited now if you thought weren't
The future is electric!
Direct --
Gonna ride there on an alternating current!
Tesla: Wait, what did you say?
Two different sides to same new spark
Illuminating what was dark
Except alternating has way more range…
either way it's an awesome change!
The future is electric!
With DC and a long extension
each home will have a light bulb, my invention!
Right, well...
AC switches direction ‘bout 60 times second
And can travel thousands of miles with a wire intersection
Start with million volts, then shift it down to just 120
A single plant can be the power source to just so many!
Lights a humble start, I'm glad you’re humble ‘bout it
but I'm giving the world power
they won't want to live without it!
The future is electric!
You’re invited now if you thought weren't
The future is electric!
Direct --
Gonna ride there on an alternating current!
Edison: Well, agree to disagree
Tesla: That's just you not admitting that you're wrong…
Edison: Well, agree to disagree about agreeing to disagree!
The future is electric!
E: AC will lead to casualties
T: DC sounds fine for batteries
E: watch the effects of all the shock! (electrocutes himself)
T: Holy moly, why would you do that?
E: (coughing smoke) to prove a point.
T: and what point was that?
E: ...what were we talking about?
The future is electric!
You’re invited now if you thought weren't
The future is electric!
Gonna ride there on an alternating…
Going to ride there on a direct…
Direct --
Gonna ride there on an alternating current!
