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

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
Let me tell you somethin' else
There was a girl who passed me by
She gave a smile, but I was shy

And looked down, so down
Don't look there no no
Go go underground
Now, now there's a place to go

It's the morning now
It's the evening
It's everything
I click my heels and I'm there

Underground, underground, ooh
Every thing's happy underground
(Underground, underground, ooh)
You been kicked around
Did life bring you down here?
Every thing's heavy underground

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, get down, get down, yeah

Underground, underground, ooh
Every thing's happy underground
(Underground, underground, ooh)
You been kicked around
Did life bring you down here?
Every thing's heavy underground

We can be happy
We can be happy
We can be happy
Underground
Oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can be
Every thing's heavy
Underground, underground, ooh
Every thing's heavy underground

Oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can be
Oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can be
Oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can be
Oh we can
Oh we can
Oh we can be
Every thing's heavy underground
Every thing's heavy underground
Every thing's heavy underground
