The public gets
what the public wants
but I don’t get
what this society wants
la la la la
We talk and we talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
Going Underground
Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I’m quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I’m so happy I can’t see the point.
Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy’s 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.[Chorus]
I’m going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrowSome people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I’ve enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
[Me?] I’m too busy dodging between the flak
What you see is what you get
You’ve made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and 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 wants what the public gets
But I don’t get what this society wants[Chorus]
But I’m quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I’m so happy I can’t see the point.

The braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!
Going underground, I’m going underground!
