Mr. Thomas Alva Edison, great inventor The single man credited for lighting up the world In the late 18s lies his story arch Masterminded a think tank, and called it Menlo Park He hired brilliant minds, and the patents and designs Defined some big parts of pop culture Tommy's intention was to take all the credit for these inventions Enter Nik Tesla; Oh now you got a vulture! (Edison on the bass, Tesla on the guitar, okay?) Well hello good sir or ma'am. How are thee? I'm Thomas Edison, AKA, Mr. DC! Thanks for coming to my booth, you're in for a treat I'll show you why my current is the feat to beat! "Oh yeah! You invented the filament bulb, correct?" Why yes, I did. Now, allow me to connect All of your bulbs need a current to collect And I devised a way for you to get it direct So pay no mind to that alternating current For all it is is arbitrary additions That one's roundabout, mine is straight to you Now tell me, which one is more efficient? Your move, Nikola. I'll wait... This is the Waaaaaar, of the Currents This is the Waaaaaar, of the Currents This is the Waaaaaar, of the Currents We got this AC versus DC, power burning! Well hello there, thanks for coming to see me Nik Tesla, call me Mr. AC The argument of minute is that my current's inefficient Well I'm here to tell you it's not. Transition My alternating current keeps the filaments burning By switching voltage and direction Without a doubt, DC burns your wires on out Of wear-and-tear, there is no detection On mine, you got supply that'll last you for life And plus you won't need as much protection (or cash!) And that's the main difference between his and my mission "Man, Alternating should stand for Authentic!" How'd you like that one, Tommy? This is the Waaaaaar, of the Currents This is the Waaaaaar, of the Currents This is the Waaaaaar, of the Currents We got this AC versus DC, power burning! "Oh, don't forget you were my former protege! He just left my team, and now he's tryna get some play" You made us innovate and put them all under your name! "Ha! You started your own; as if you aren't doing the same" In Menlo Park, he exploited our brilliance! And repaid us with paystubs while he got Billions! "Billions?! Think you're exaggerating a bit, Nik" Actually, I was referring to what Imma get: Rich! Take note of these bars, as I shoot for the stars One day, I'll run Tommy over with my electric car! "Oh, so you wanna play war?" What you think this was for? "Well why don't we innovate, so we can settle the score" Now this next part makes some casualties of war 'Cause Nikola Tesla's got a higher score And Edison's stressin', what's he gon' do now? Show how dangerous AC can be; kills a cow He didn't stop there, made the electric chair Just to show how much AC pails in compare Around the same time, Nik sold his tech line To George Westinghouse, who built a dam on the Niagara Falls To go against Edison's GE This thing has got enough AC to power the Northeast! At this point, the score is like 200/23 And Thomas Edison is now forced to concede He lost the war, but he'll die with more money And most of Tesla's later designs were (eeh) funky Listen back to this track for quick knowledge retrieving This been the War of the Currents, y'all now I'm leaving This has been the Waaaaaar, of the Currents I said the Waaaaaar, of the Currents This has been the Waaaaaar, of the Currents We got that AC in your outlets, now we current!
