Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was never cool in school
I'm sure you don't remember me
And now it's been ten years
I'm still wonderin' who to be
And 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
[Verse 2]
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
There's gotta be somethin' else
And let me tell ya somethin' else
[Verse 3]
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 there, no, no
Go, go underground
And now there's a place to go
[Verse 4]
It's the mornin' now, it's the evenin'
It's everythin'
I click my heels and I'm there
[Verse 5]
(Underground, underground, ooh)
Everything's heavy underground
(Underground, underground, ooh)
You've been kicked around, did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground
[Verse 6]
And we'll be decked in all black
Slammin' 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
[Verse 7]
(Underground, underground, ooh)
Everything's heavy under
(Underground, underground, ooh)
You've been kicked around, did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground
[Verse 8]
We can be happy, we can be happy
We can be happy underground
We can, we can, we can, we
Everything's heavy
[Verse 9]
(Underground, underground, ooh)
You've been kicked around, did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground
Bye, bye
[Verse 10]
We can, we can, we can, we
(Everything's heavy underground)
We can, we can, we can, we
(Everything's heavy underground)
We can, we can, we can, we
We can, we can, we can, we
[Verse 11]
Everything's heavy underground
Everything's heavy underground
Everything's heavy underground
