[Verse] Oh Thomas Edison you stole the light, Ideas from Tesla kept you up at night, Took the credit never did it right, Inventor's fame but not too bright. [Verse 2] The Wizard of Menlo Park they’d say, But patents piled up in a shady play, The real genius worked away, In shadows you kept him gray. [Chorus] Light bulbs shining but the truth is clear, You took the glory but the lies appear, Electric dreams stolen here, Thomas Edison oh you should fear. [Verse 3] Phonograph was your big show, But many voices spoke below, Labor’s sweat you did not know, Claimed it all yet nothing to show. [Verse 4] Kinetoscope it caught their sight, Moving pictures brought delight, Yet in your shadow dark as night, Others’ brains you’d always bite. [Bridge] You built an empire on deceit, Stepping on others' feet, History won’t repeat, The truth is now on the beat.
