Underground (with introduction) Songtext
von Ben Folds

I was never cool in school
I′m sure you don't remember me
And now it′s been ten years
I'm still wondering who to be
And I'd love to mix in circles, cliques and social coteries
(That′s me)
Hand me my nose-ring (Can we be happy?)
Show me the mosh pit (Can we be happy?)
We can be happy underground


Who′s got the looks?
Who's got the brains?
Who′s got everything?
I've got this pain in my heart, that′s all
Hey you, with the long hair, lonely face
Well, there's gotta be somethin′ else
Let me tell you somethin' else
There was a girl who passed me by
She gave a smile but I was shy
And I looked down, so down
Don't look down, no, no
Go, go underground
And now there′s a place to go

It′s the morning, now it's the evening
It′s everything
I click my heels and I'm there

Underground, underground
Everything′s heavy underground
(Underground) You been kicked around?
(Underground) Did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground

We′ll be decked in all black
Slammin' the pit, fantastic
Officer Friendly's little boy′s got a Mohawk
And he knows just where we′re coming from
It's industrial, work it underground
Get down, yeah, get down, yeah, get down, yeah

Underground, underground
Everything′s heavy undergr-
(Underground) You been kicked around?
(Underground) Did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground


We can be happy, we can be happy
We can be happy underground

We can, we can, we can be

Everything′s heavy!

(Underground) You been kicked around?
(Underground) Did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground
Bye-bye!
We can, we can, we can be
(Everything′s heavy underground)
We can, we can, we can be
(Everything's happy underground)
We can, we can, we can be
We can, we can, we can be

Everything's heavy underground
Everything′s happy underground
Everything′s heavy underground
