Going underground Songtext

von Mike Peters

Some people might say my life is in a rut
But I'm quite happy with what I've got
People might say that I should strive for more
But I'm so happy
I can see that something's happening here today
A show of strength with your boys brigade
And I'm so happy
And you're so bold
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 that society's got
I'm going underground (going underground)
Well the brass bands play
Feet are starting to pound
I'm going underground (going underground)
Let the boys all scream
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
I'm so 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 you place your trust
When their lies let you down
Then the promises rust
And killing machines
Replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society's got

I'm going underground (going underground)
Well the brass bands play
Feet are starting to pound
I'm going underground (going underground)
Let the boys all scream
Let the boys all shout
For tomorrow

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

I talk and I talk
Until my head explodes
Turn on the news
And my body blows
Braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout
Make this boy scream

Going underground
I'm going underground

I'm going underground
I'm going underground

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout
Make this boy scream

Going underground (going underground)
Well the brass bands play
Feet are starting to pound
I'm going underground (going underground)
Let the boys all scream
Let the boys all shout
Going underground (going underground)
Let the brass bands play
And feet pound pound pound
Going underground (going underground)
Let the boys all scream
Let the boys all shout
For tomorrow
