I was never cool in school
I'm sure you don't remember me
And now it's been 10 years
I'm still wondering who to be
And I'd 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 who passed me by
She gave a smile but I was shy
I looked down, so down
(Don't look there no no, go go underground)
But 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)
Everything's happy underground
(Underground) You been kicked around
(Underground) Did life bring you down here
Everything's heavy underground
We'll be decked in all black
Slamming the pit fantastic
Officer Friendly's little boy's got a Mohawk
And he knows just where we're coming from
(It's industrial, work it underground)
Get down, get down, get down
(Underground, underground)
Everything's heavy underground
(Underground) You been kicked around
(Underground) Did life bring you down here
Everything's happy underground
We can be happy, we can be happy, we can be happy underground
We can, we can, we can be
Everything's heavy
(Underground) You been kicked around
(Underground) Did life bring you down here
Everything's happy underground
Bye-bye!
We can, we can, we can be
Everything's happy underground
