Ben Folds Five
"Underground"


I was never cool in school
I'm sure you don't remember me

and now its been ten years
and I'm still wondering who to be

and I'd love to mix in circles
cliques and social coteries, thats 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 got this pain in my heart thats all

(hey you
with the long and 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

(don't look down no no,
go go underground)
now, 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
oooooooooo)

everything's heavy underground
(underground)
you been kicked around
(underground)
did my friend go down here?
(oooooooo)
everything's heavy underground

we'll be decked in all black
slamming the pit, fantastic
Officer Friendly's little boy's
got a mohawk
and he knows just just where coming from
(it's industrial
work it underground)

get down (yeah)
get down (yeah)
get down yeah

(underground
underground
oooooooooo)

everything's heavy underground
(underground)
you been kicked around
(underground)
did my friend go down here?
(oooooooo)
everything's heavy underground

we can be happy
we can be happy
we can be happy underground

(we can we can we can be)
everythings heavy!

(underground)
you been kicked around
(underground)
did my friend go down here?
(oooooooo)
everything's heavy underground

bye bye!

oh we can
oh we can
oh we can be
(everything's heavy underground)

oh we can
oh we can
oh we can be
(and everything's heavy underground),
(we can be happy underground)

oh we can
oh we can
oh we can be

oh we can
oh we can
oh we can be

everything's heavy underground
everything's happy underground
