Tesla Vs. Edison

The madman
Who did not get to play
Cuz he figured out how
to give energy away
But, hey
That wasn't the American Way
So that dog never got his day

Then, the gentle genius
Found a way
to make it pay
and all the robber barons
flocked his way
And here we are today

But energy is energy
It ought to be free
Hell, Ben Franklin found that key!
