Ben Folds - Underground

Lyrics

I was never cool in school

I'm sure you don't remember me

And now it's been 10 years

I'm still wondering who to be

But 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 got this pain in my heart, that's all

Hey you with the long and lonely face

There's got to be something else

Let me tell ya something else

There was a girl who passed me by

She gave a smile but I was shy

I looked down, so down

Don't look there no no, go go underground

But 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 happy underground

(Underground) You 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

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, get down, get down

Underground, underground

Everything's happy underground

(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

We can, we can, we can be

(Everything's happy underground)
