Underground (Demo) lyrics - Ben Folds

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

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 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 passed 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

In the morning now, in 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?

We can be happy underground

We'll be decked in all black

Slamming the pits fantastic

Officer Friendly's 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

[?]

In the morning now, in 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 can be happy, we can be happy, we can be happy underground

Oh we can't, oh we can't, oh we can't be

(Underground)

You've been kicked around

(Underground)

Did life bring you down here?

Everything's heavy underground

Get down...

Oh, we can't, oh we can't, oh we can't be

Oh, we can't, oh we can't, oh we can't be

Oh, we can't, oh we can't, oh we can't be

Oh, we can't, oh we can't, oh we can't be
