[Verse 1]
C                     C6              C
Some people might say my life is in a rut,
                     C6          C
 But I'm quite happy with what I got,
                      C6                  C
People might say that I should strive for more,
                   C6            A                    C#m/G#
But I'm so happy I can't see the point!
                                 Something's happening here today,
 
  A                          C#m/G#
A show of strength with your Boy's Brigade,
    A                 C#m/G#
And I'm so happy, and you're so kind,
    A                   C#m/G#
You want more money, of course I don't mind,
       D                         E
To buy nuclear textbooks for a - tomic crimes,
        A                    C#m
And the public gets what the public wants,
    D                        E
But I want nothing this so - ciety's got
 
[Chorus]
          A                   C#m
I'm going underground, (Going underground!)
              D                          E
Well, let the brass bands play, and feet start to pound,
      A                   C#m
Going underground, (Going underground!)
              D
Well, let the boys all sing,
             E                      A     C#m/G#    D    E
And let the boys all shout for to - morrow
 
[Verse 2]
C                          C6              C
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate,
                     C6          C
Me? I've enough al - ready on my plate,
                       C6              C
People might need some tension to re - lax,
                 C6                 A              C#m/G#
Me? I'm too busy dodging 'tween the flak!
                                    What you see is what you get,
 
       A                        C#m/G#
You've made your bed, you better    ...lie in it,
    A                        C#m/G#
You choose your leaders, and place your trust,
         A                             C#m/G#
As their lies wash you down, and their promises rust,
           D                           E
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns,
        A                     C#m
And the public wants what the public gets,
    D                           E
But I don't care what this so - ciety wants
 
[Chorus]
          A                   C#m
I'm going underground, (Going underground!)
              D                          E
Well, let the brass bands play, and feet start to pound,
      A                  C#m                       D
Going underground,(Going underground!) so, let the boys all sing,
            E                       Bm
And let the boys all shout for to - morrow

We talk, and we talk, until my head explodes,
   Bm                      A
I turn on the news, and my body froze,
      C#m                 D
These braying sheep on my TV screen,
     E                    Esus4    E
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream
