Tesla - Shock Lyrics






Clock is ticking, I feel it
Ain't no stopping it now
Flames are licking the ceiling
And I'm still inside the house

No, nobodies gonna come out and save me, no
I can fight it, try and deny it
Baby, but on and on it goes

Come on, gimme a shot of adrenaline
Shock to the system, alright
Strike me under the sky, chain reaction
A shock to the system, a shock to the system

Pressure's on but I need it
Guess I've never known why
But every drop I've been bleedin'
Let's me know I'm alive

No, nobodies ever gonna control me, no
I can fight it, try and deny it
Baby, but on and on it goes

Come on, gimme a shot of adrenaline
Shock to the system, alright
Strike me under the sky, chain reaction
A shock to the system, a shock

Feel the shock and touch the lightning
It's electric, karmic, nitrous
Feel the shock and touch the lightning
Yeah, you know there's nothing like it (Like it)
Like it

Come on, gimme a shot of adrenaline
Shock to the system, alright
Strike me under the sky, chain reaction
A shock to the system, a shock to the system

Come on, gimme a shot of adrenaline
Shock to the system, alright
Strike me under the sky, chain reaction
A shock to the system, a shock to the system

Tesla Shock Comments
  1. R.... G....

    Could’ve been so much better. No guitar solo to speak of, nothing special that we haven’t gotten from Tesla before. Good, but, nothing to really be excited for

  2. A.... R....

    Bad Ass song Plain and Simple

  3. S.... M....

    How come you don't here this on Radio? Only freakin garbage on there now👊

  4. D.... ....

    How did I not know one of my favorite bands put out a new album? This song is fantastic another great job by a legendary band!

  5. N.... N....

    🤓👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏

  6. S.... H....

    Reppin' Bar 7 - 3:13

  7. D.... J....

    Definitely has a Def Leppard feel to it, but it has that early '80s hard rock sound I love!!
    Still sounding Good all these years!

  8. L.... A....

    So sad. So far from makin' magic. Please don't derock TESLA !

  9. E.... T....

    God fucking awful...Phil should never work in this capacity again

  10. r.... ....

    THIS IS SHOCKINGLY TERRIBLE WHAT THE FUCK ?

  11. R.... J....

    This is such a fucking ear worm.

    Cannot get it out of my head.
    The best song I’ve heard this year.

    Well done Tesla.

  12. R.... T....

    I've seen TESLA several times over the years. Still ROKN HARD. ROCK ON FRIENDS

  13. J.... S....

    I am so much better song

  14. F.... B....

    https://youtu.be/Y_agQIRwfTU

  15. Y.... H....

    Really shocked me a lot!

  16. �.... ....

    it feels like nirvana, or better for me

  17. R.... A....

    I’m 25 years old. I love classic rock, 80’s rock, hair metal etc. I saw def leppard poison and Tesla on tour in 2017 and no questioned asked , Tesla had the best vocal performance out of the bunch.

    R.... A....

    ROCK on BROTHER

  18. C.... ....

    Can`t wait to see them at Hellfest.

  19. C.... R....

    All I cam say is "WOW!"

  20. V.... P....

    Nice one guys🤘 Rock On! 🤘

  21. A.... L....

    pretty terrible.

  22. P.... P....

    Long time without you but now! Great record gentlemen's

  23. N.... W....

    not gonna call this song electrifying- but gotta admit i like it.

    N.... W....

    and dont blow a 50 amp fuse- i didnt say it was revolting

  24. R.... H....

    Don’t Leppard my Tesla. If I could find Phil Collen I’d say a taint kick was in order.

  25. S.... M....

    Excellent . Finally a good rock song

  26. B.... T....

    The drums lack impact? and its a bit trebley...good song just wish it had more punch.

    B.... T....

    I wished the entire CD had more PUNCH!

  27. J.... M....

    Not impressed, so much for NO MACHINES.

  28. S.... D....

    They would be like a bottle of wine getting better with age BUT.... they have well and truly smashed that bottle of wine!!!

  29. M.... P....

    Love it

  30. B.... ....

    True Genius Song & Vid🤩🤟!

  31. M.... H....

    Hammer geile Musik :-))

  32. s.... b....

    as this band gets older the better they sound been a fan for years

  33. J.... C....

    I think they have been hanging around Def Leppard too long. Oh yea, Phil produced it. That explains the drum sound. But... I will still jam on anything they put out. Tesla fan since 89...keep raspin Jeff!!

    J.... C....

    Joe Cox totally agree. Sounds just like a def leppard song and that's not a good thing. I thought Tesla was a hard rock band?

  34. B.... T....

    Follow up album,  "After Shock"...  Live DVD and Blu Ray "Shock and Awe"

  35. d.... l....

    I hope this is in pikachu detective

  36. f.... d....

    Just come back to the U.K. O.K?

  37. J.... O....

    No Machines? Loved Forever More and Into the Now. Shock is not doing it for me.

  38. B.... C....

    Love the new album. You all sound as good as ever!

  39. E.... 7....

    This whole Album is Garbage.

  40. T.... ....

    This video is much like the new album...underwhelming. Couldn’t the band have at least made an appearance in the video? Come on, guys. You can do so much better than this.

  41. b.... ....

    I am so disappointed you are not coming to Wichita this tour! Love the new song!

    b.... ....

    They were in KC Sunday, great show.

  42. B.... S....

    Lame. Expected something new and rockin, this was very tame, but some folks like it so maybe there's going to be better songs? Hope so. To me, they never quite repeated the fire of the first album, which I saw them play live opening for Def Leppard in an arena, and it was amazing. C'mon Tesla, surprise us, we've been waiting for you to kick ass again.

  43. f.... ....

    Joe Elliott singing? Similar voices.

  44. D.... B....

    Like most of us, have been a huge fan since '86 or whenever MR came out...I'll always support the band and see them live when they come around...however, this video is weak. No images of the band; no live shots, nothing that puts a visual to the song. Maybe that was the strategy, I don't know...but they can do much better- and have !

  45. S.... M....

    Very Nice #! EXACTLY !!
    Love you guys.

  46. M.... I....

    One of the few tours I regret not seeing Tesla opening up for Def Leppard's Hysteria. It's comes back around full circle.

  47. F.... I....

    Love it!

  48. R.... W....

    Need a new singer , he can't sing for shit , at least not since live acoustic album. Time to hang it up

    R.... W....

    You're High AF! Jeff is Tesla

    R.... W....

    You're higher than fuck , can't you hear , listen to it sounds like like crap. Look who produced it Phil Colleen of Def Leppard they suck now too . Bunch of kiddie rock they were very good back in the day .

    R.... W....

    This is a stupid comment. Jeff Keith sounds great. He’s the only good thing about the new album.

    R.... W....

    It's not that bad, but it's definitely a departure from the norm to me.

    R.... W....

    Jeff is the best singer from any touring hairband from the 80's bar none. You are high i agree with the others.

  49. J.... W....

    It's amazing how numb the general public has gotten to bad music. I guess with all the crap out now, anything sounds good to them.

  50. f.... p....

    Congrats "Shock" it's a fantastic song🎶🎼💯

  51. K.... E....

    Drum machine???

    K.... E....

    Yeah I know it's lame, they could've rocked better than this. Comin Atcha Live, Getting Better, Modern Day Cowboy... and there's this weak tune? C'mon.

  52. J.... B....

    Best song on the album... Only one that actually sounds like classic Tesla. They need to produce their own music, not Phil Collin of Def Leppard. I hope this isn't their last hurrah as far as music goes. They need to do at least 1 more album and go out with a big bang. I will always love Tesla... Truly one of the greatest American rock bands of all time, and my personal favorite of all time.

  53. A.... M....

    Big Tune!!

  54. V.... 1....

    Sounds like Elliot in the verses.

  55. T.... W....

    This ain't tesla.sounds to much like leopard

    T.... W....

    Produced and written with Phil Collen so...

  56. Z.... R....

    Gotta be honest-bad video aside the drums sound like a plugin, the guitars sound too overcompressed and the song doesn't move beyond generic 80's style rock. Come on, guys. You're the band that put out Psychotic Supper. Stop cheesing it and at least use some real tube amps. The whole album sounds like something you all recorded at different times from different locations instead of in a room jamming. I get that it's more convenient and maybe cheaper but it's not what made your past albums so awesome.

    Z.... R....

    PS was an amazing album and well recorded. This is so bad.

  57. J.... S....

    Crash test dummy inside a 1974 Oldsmobile Toronado; outside, a newer SUV!

  58. A.... L....

    Song is good , video is phoned in. I would rather see you guys in the studio while you’re recording.

  59. F.... V....

    Awesome song.... video sucks balls though. Love Tesla ✊️

  60. B.... ....

    Always thrilled to see Tesla with something new. Fan since the 80's. Keep putting out the great rock!!! Fans are still out there!!!

  61. J.... F....

    The best of the released songs from Shock so far. Great riffs and vocals. The electronic drums are a bore. NOT necessary at all!

  62. B.... W....

    Wow......Sounds like you guys Never Lost that Tesla magic!! Fantastic Song fellas...

  63. A.... L....

    Absolutely love this band! Their concerts are still amazing! Jeff Keith's voice is one of a kind....awesome!!

    A.... L....

    Live he sounds like Eric Cartmen !!!

  64. J.... P....

    You Guys have been my fav band for over 30 yrs I love this song but the video is terrible who ever did the video I would fire them sorry SHOCK should be a lightening storm, Volcano erupting, Thunder, Fire works ....with some Hot views of Girls of the Beach before the storm hits. Love Tesla and all your songs.

  65. D.... J....

    Great song, but the video is like something a 10 year old smashed together in movie maker. So many repeated clips. Tesla deserves a better editor

  66. V.... ....

    I dont know ... is this best song on album ??

    V.... ....

    Right? It's kinda weak.

    V.... ....

    Unfortunately,yes

  67. E.... U....

    Me encantó esta canción.

  68. I.... S....

    Awesome piece of music... Awesome piece of video!!!

  69. B.... N....

    SOUNDS GOOD NEAD T HERE MORE FROM THE ALBUM

  70. E.... V....

    MOTHERFUCKINTESLA!!!🎸

  71. J.... H....

    Liking the new stuff much more than the Simplicity album.

  72. G.... S....

    I knew the 80's would make it's way back around!!!
    Loved you all then still do now!!
    This kicks ass!!!!
    Telling corruption to screw off, hell yeah!!

  73. K.... R....

    Love it! That was awesome!!!!

  74. A.... F....

    I love Tesla but I think the song isn’t all that great. Maybe it’ll grow on me who knows. Just something is missing but don’t know what.

    A.... F....

    I think what it might be is the electronic drums,, I feel like this track has potential but something about that beat really just rubs me the wrong way, this whole album is really overproduced and sounds really digital, it kinda loses the feeling of a proper rock/metal track, especially comparing it to their older work like mechanical resonance.

    A.... F....

    @Doctor it was produced by Phil collen of def leppard....I think that's part of the problem...trying to make Tesla sound like def leppard clones...

  75. B.... J....

    This song and the entire album are absolutely terrible. Same with Simplicity. Yep, sounds like the same ole Def Leppard ..

  76. T.... L....

    Awesome Album Guys!!!

  77. B.... v....

    Great Tesla tune, can't wait to grab the album.. hope to see you guys on the road this summer..🤘

  78. J.... M....
