| Every evening we meet downtown slip underground into the basements
|
| There’s an agent who’s tracking us he knows what’s up he’s felt vibrations
|
| Shake this quiet town but now his ear is to the ground
|
| Our secret’s out
|
| Pack up the gear
|
| Load up the van and hurry back to the safe house
|
| Send a wire through the network that they’ve infiltrated the resistance
|
| So we gotta burn our records now
|
| C’mon and burn them up
|
| And melt them down into a statue for the town
|
| A monument to the underground
|
| We’ll destroy all documents that could prove that we exist
|
| They’ll be sifting through ashes desperate for the evidence
|
| No they won’t stop 'til they find something to sell
|
| All they’re gonna find are bombshells
|
| C’mon and blow it up
|
| The whole compound
|
| With distortion that resounds
|
| A memorial for the underground
|
| And so we’ll burn it down
|
| On the periscope we watch familiar informants selling us out
|
| They trade for bad haircuts, some tight black pants and a sparkling new sound
|
| Now the radio transmits a hollow carcass of the resistance
|
| 'cause they’ve gutted out the urgency and replaced it with impotence
|
| Our sweat is more than bleeding stage make-up
|
| Our words aren’t trite they’re bloody dangerous
|
| Our songs are the lifeblood of the resistance
|
| C’mon and tear it up
|
| And burn it down with explosions of our sound
|
| And dig a grave for the underground
|
| But the songs stuck in our heads won’t be burned and left for dead
|
| They’re the songs we’ll never sell
|
| We keep them locked within ourselves
|
| C’mon and tear it up
|
| No they won’t stop 'til they find something to sell
|
| There’s nothing to find 'cause we blew it all to hell |
