Underground - 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’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 and lonely face)

Well there’s got to be something else

And 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)

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

And 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

comin' from

(It's industrial, work it underground)

Get down (yeah), get down (yeah), get down

Yeah

(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 happening!

(Underground, underground)

Everything’s happy underground

(Underground) You been kicked around

(Underground) Did life bring you down here?

Everything’s happy underground

Bye-bye!
