Lyrics
The city is burning
Sinking ships in the ocean
With a head full of dreams at night
Sorrow's written the story of life
Ain't nothing to do, but
I was digging for gold dust
I see the shame in your eyes this time
And no, baby, it's cold inside
Your fake humble called out, got you tongue-tied
Your best chance at success got ya denied
No, you thought I wouldn't know?
I don't hate you
But I despise that feeling
There's nothing left for me here
You won't know if you don't go
Superficial feelings
It's hard to take it easy
Underneath the red sun
Everything's electric
Tell me, what do you love?
And would you let it kill you?
With a head full of dreams at night
Sorrows written the story of life
The higher we go
The longer that we can fly
I never knew what you wanted
So I gave you everythin'
Your life's short and most days are long now
Chain of missing links is all that's left now
No, you gotta let it go
I don't hate you
But I despise that feeling
There's nothing left for me here
You won't know if you don't go
Superficial feelings
It's hard to take it easy
Underneath the red sun
Everything's electric
I don't hate you
But I despise that feeling
There's nothing left for me here
You won't know if you don't go
Superficial feelings
It's hard to take it easy
Underneath the red sun
Everything's electric

Notes
"Everything's Electric" is a high-energy rock track by Liam Gallagher, released on February 4, 2022, as the lead single from his third solo studio album C'mon You Know (out May 27, 2022). It appears as track 7 on the standard edition and is one of the album's standout moments.
- Co-written by Liam Gallagher, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Greg Kurstin, and Friedrich Kunath.
- Dave Grohl plays drums on the track — a big highlight that added massive energy.
- Produced by Greg Kurstin.
- Liam wanted the song to blend the thunderous, chaotic dynamics of Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" with the spiralling tension and danger of The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter". It delivers a raw, swaggering rock feel with crunchy guitars and a driving rhythm.
"Everything's Electric" captures a sense of chaos, resilience, and defiant energy in the face of tough times — especially post-pandemic struggles. It mixes imagery of destruction ("The city is burning / Sinking ships in the ocean") with a head full of dreams, superficial feelings, and an underlying charge of life and possibility.Key lyrics include:
"The city is burning / Sinking ships in the ocean / With a head full of dreams at night"
"Superficial feelings / It's hard to take it easy / Underneath the red sun / Everything's electric"
The chorus asks: "Tell me, what do you love?"
It's upbeat and anthemic in delivery, with Liam's classic snarling vocals, but carries a reflective edge about navigating life's wreckage while staying charged up. Many fans see it as a "resurrection" vibe — Liam dusting himself off and roaring back.
Critics and fans generally loved it as a strong, swaggering return — often called one of Liam's best solo singles for its raw energy and Grohl's punchy drums. It helped build huge hype for the album and Liam's 2022 Knebworth shows (a spiritual successor to Oasis' legendary 1996 gigs there).
