Going Underground |
Some people might say my life is in a rut |
But I’m happy with what I got |
People might say that I should strive for more |
But I’m so happy, I can’t see the point |
Something’s happening here today |
A show of strength with your boy’s brigade |
And I’m so happy and you’re so kind |
You want more money, of course, I don’t mind |
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes |
And the public gets what the public wants |
But I want nothing this society’s got |
I’m going underground |
Well, the brass bands play and feet start to pound |
Going underground |
Let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow |
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate |
I’ve enough already on my plate |
People might need some tension to relax |
Me, I’m too busy dodging between the flak |
What you see is what you get |
You’ve made your bed, you better lie in it |
You choose your leaders and place your trust |
As their lies wash down and their promises rust |
You’ll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns |
And the public gets what the public wants |
But I won’t get what society’s got |
I’m going underground |
Well, the brass bands play and feet start to pound |
Going underground |
Let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow |
We talk and talk 'til my head explodes |
I turned on the news and my body froze |
The braying sheep on my TV screen |
Makes this boy shout, makes this boy scream |
Going underground |
Going underground |
Going underground |
Going underground |
The braying sheep on my TV screen |
Makes this boy shout, makes this boy scream |
I’m going underground |
Well, the brass bands play and feet start to pound |
Going underground |
Well, let the boys all sing and the boys all shout |
Going underground |
Well, the brass bands play and feet go pow pow pow |
Going underground |
Let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow |
