Underground Songtext
von Ben Folds Five

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

But I 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 look?
Who′s got the brains?
Who's got everything?
I got this pain in my heart, that′s all
Hey, you!
With the long, thin, lonely face
There's got to be something else
Let me tell you something else


There was a girl that passed me by
She gave a smile, but I was shy
And I looked down, so down
No, I never knew we could get 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
We′ve been kicked around
Underground
Did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground

We′ll be decked in all black
Slamming the pit fantastic
Hops and frillies
Little boy's got a mohawk
He knows just where I′m coming from
With those big eyes


We're getting underground
Get down, get down, get down, yeah
Underground
Underground
Everybody′s happy underground
Underground
We've been kicked around
Underground
Did life bring you down?
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 is so boring
Underground
Kicked around
Underground
Did life bring you down here?
Everything′s heavy underground

Bye bye
We can, we can, we can be
We can, we can, we can be
We can, we can, we can be
We can, we can, we can be
