Ben Folds - Underground (demo 1992) lyrics

I was never cool in school I'm sure you don't remember me And now it's been ten years And I'm still wondering who to be I 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? Now 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 you something else There was a girl that pa**ed me by She gave a smile but I was shy and looked down so down Don't look down no no! Go go underground And now there's a place to go It's the morning now, its the evening It's everything I click my heels and I'm there Underground, Underground Everything's heavy underground Underground You've been kicked around Underground Did life bring you down here? Everything's heavy underground We'll be decked in all black Slamming the pits fantastic Officer Friendly's little boy's got a mohawk He knows just where we're coming from It's industrial, work it underground Get down, get down, get down Oh we can't, oh we can't, oh we can't be Chorus: Oh, we can't, oh we can't, oh we can't be (3x) Everything's happy underground, everything's happy underground
