Going Underground |
GOING UNDERGROUND — Paul Weller |
Some people might say my life is in a rut, |
But I’m quite 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. |
Somethings 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, (going underground) |
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound |
Going underground, (going underground) |
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow |
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate |
Me, I’ve enough already on my plate |
People might need some tension to relax |
Mem, 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 you down and their promises rust |
You’ll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns |
And the public wants what the public gets |
But I don’t get what this society wants |
I’m going underground, (going underground) |
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound |
Going underground, (going underground) |
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow |
We talk and talk until my head explodes |
I turn on the news and my body froze |
The braying sheep on my TV screen |
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream! |
Going underground, I’m going underground! |
