C#m Young man, I was young once too A G#m Sang a song of love like you C#m Son, I too, was left behind A G#m Turned on one too many times C#m Now I sing a different song A G#m One I can depend upon C#m A simple tune, a steady beat A G#m The music of machinery C#m You hear that heavy metal sound? A G#m The symphony of Hadestown C#m And in this symphony of mine A G#m Of power cords and power lines C#m Young man, you can strum your lyre A G#m I have strung the world in wire C#m Young man, you can sing your ditty A I conduct the electric city!
