D Some people might say my life is in a rut, but I'm quite happy with what I got
D People might say that I should strive for more but I'm so happy I can't see the point
B D#m Somethings happening here today, a
B D#m show of strength with your boys brigade
B D#m And I'm so happy and you're so
B kind, you want more money, of course
D#m I don't mind
E F# To buy nuclear textbooks for
B atomic crimes and the public gets
D#m what the public wants
E F# But I want nothing this societys
B got, I'm going underground, going
D#m underground
E Well let the brass bands play and
F# feet start to pound, going
B D#m underground, going underground
E Well let the boys all sing and the
F# B D#m E F# boys all shout for tomorrow

D Some people might get some pleasure out of hate, me, I've enough already on my plate
D People might need some tension to relax, me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak
B D#m What you see is what you get, you
B D#m made your bed, you better lie in it
B You choose your leaders and place
D#m B your trust as their lies wash you
D#m down and their promises rust
E You'll see kidney machines replaced
F# B by rockets and guns and the
D#m public wants what the public gets
E F# But I don't care what this society
B wants, I'm going underground,
D#m going underground
E Well the brass band play and feet
F# B start to pound, going
D#m underground, going underground
E So let the boys all sing and let
F# C#m B the boys all shout for tomorrow,
C#m B la la la la, la la la la
C#m B We talk and we talk until my head
C#m explodes, I turn on the news and my
B body froze
D#m E Braying sheep on my TV screen,
F# make this boy shout, make this boy scream
C# Fm F# G# Going underground, going
C# Fm F# G# underground
B D#m E F# I'm going underground, I'm
B D#m E F# going underground
C#5 B5 C#5 B5 La la la la La la la la
C#5 B5 C#5 La la la la
D#m E Braying sheep on my TV screen,
F# make this boy shout, make this boy scream
C# Going underground, going
Fm F# underground, well let the brass
G# band play and feet start to pound
C# Going underground, going
Fm F# underground, well let the boys all
G# sing and let the boys all shout
C# Going underground, going
Fm F# underground, well let the brass
G# band play and feet go pow, pow, pow
C# Going underground, going
Fm F# underground, well let the boys all
G# sing and let the boys all shout
F# for tomorrow
