The Jam - Going Underground lyrics
[The Jam - Going Underground lyrics]
Some people might say my life is in a rut
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
Something's 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, let the brass bands play
And feet start to pound
Going underground going underground
Well, let the boys all sing and let
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
Me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak
What you see is what you get
You made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies puts 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, let the brass bands play
And feet start to pound
Going underground going underground
So let the boys all sing and let
The boys all shout for tomorrow
La la la la la la la la
We talk and we talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
These 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
These braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!
Going underground going underground
Well, let the brass bands play
And feet start to pound
Going underground going underground
Well, let the boys all sing and
Let the boys all shout
Going underground going underground
Well, let the brass bands play
And feet go pound, pound, pound
Going underground going underground
So let the boys all sing and let
The boys all shout for tomorrow
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
Something's 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, let the brass bands play
And feet start to pound
Going underground going underground
Well, let the boys all sing and let
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
Me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak
What you see is what you get
You made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies puts 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, let the brass bands play
And feet start to pound
Going underground going underground
So let the boys all sing and let
The boys all shout for tomorrow
La la la la la la la la
We talk and we talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
These 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
These braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!
Going underground going underground
Well, let the brass bands play
And feet start to pound
Going underground going underground
Well, let the boys all sing and
Let the boys all shout
Going underground going underground
Well, let the brass bands play
And feet go pound, pound, pound
Going underground going underground
So let the boys all sing and let
The boys all shout for tomorrow
