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! |
