[Intro]
\nAre we all…
\nOn a path to lower potential
\n(Found the ground)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n.. the current will take you instead
\n(Shockingly dead)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nGround fault
\n(Interrupter)
\nFound an assault
\n(Interpreter)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre we all…
\n(On a path to lower potential)
\nHave we found the ground
\nTo send the sound around<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n.. the current will take you
\n(To a shocking new view)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAre you going to be the load
\n(Watch your head explode)
\nGive conductivity a try
\n(And watch it fry)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre we all…
\n(On a path to lower potential)
\nHave we found the ground
\nTo send the sound around<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n.. the current will take you
\nWelcome to…
\n(A shocking new view)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre we all…
\n(On a path to lower potential)
\nHave we found the ground
\nTo send the sound around<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n.. the current will take you
\nWelcome to…
\n(A shocking new view)<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE: how electricity<\/strong> works and how it can interact with your body<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Is an Electrical Circuit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An electrical circuit<\/strong> is a closed loop<\/strong> that allows electric current<\/strong> (flow of electrons) to move from a power source<\/strong>, through a path<\/strong>, and back again.<\/p>\n

Key Parts of a Circuit:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Power Source<\/strong> \u2013 Battery, generator, or outlet (provides voltage)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Conductors<\/strong> \u2013 Wires (usually copper) that let electrons flow<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Load<\/strong> \u2013 Something that uses the electricity (lightbulb, phone, motor)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Switch<\/strong> \u2013 Optional; lets you open or close the circuit<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0When the circuit is closed<\/strong>, current flows. When it\u2019s open<\/strong>, it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

    So How Do You Get Shocked?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    You get an electric shock<\/strong> when your body becomes part of a circuit<\/strong>, allowing current to flow through you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    What\u2019s Happening Physically:<\/h3>\n
