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...
