Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Going Underground lyrics

Some people might say my life is in a rut I'm quite happy with what I've got People might say that I should strive for more I'm so happy I can't see the point Something's happening here today A show of strength with your boys brigade And I'm so happy and you're so kind You want more money of course I don't mind To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes And the public gets what the public wants But I want nothing this society's got I'm going underground We'll let the bra** bands play and feet start to pound I'm going underground We'll let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow Some people might need some tension to relax Me, I'm too busy dodging the flak What you see is what you get You've made your bed you better lie in it You choose your leaders and you place your trust As their lies wash you down and their promises rust You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns And the public gets what the public wants But I want nothing this society's got I'm going underground We'll let the bra** bands play and feet start to pound I'm going underground We'll let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow We talk and talk until my head explodes I turned on the news, my body froze The braying sheep on the TV screen Make this boy shout, make this boy scream Going underground We'll let the bra** bands play and feet start to pound I'm going underground We'll let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow
