Tesla what in the hell did they do to you.
They stole your ideas and then they left you.
Sitting with nothing they stole your dreams
They took your gadgets and your machines.
Edison admitted he should not have let you go
The biggest mistake that he would ever know.
At the 1893 Worlds Fair your talent shined
When you lit up the world with your light design
You and Westinghouse were quite a team
Going to build a Power Plant till gold convened
The richest man in America he took control
In this venture J. P. Morgan played the title role.
You had almost 300 patents in your name
Most of them would be unrecognized with no acclaim
It would be a few more years before you are known
For contributions that were your own
So Mr Nikola Tesla here’s to you
The fame you would receive you never knew
I guess better late than never I hope Edison knows
The spoils of the battle to the victor goes
