[D] [G] [D] .
Some people might say my life is an attempt at a bill of tax.
People might say that I should strike for more.
But I'm so happy [B] I can't see that point.
Some things [D#m] happening here [B] today.
A show of [D#m] strength with your vice [B] brigade.
And I'm so happy [D#m] and you're so [A] kind.
[B] You want more money, [D#m] cause I [E] don't mind.
You might feel against the [F#] small [B] atomic grant.
And the public gets [D#m] what the public wants.
[E] But I want [F#] nothing to say.
It's a custom [B] going underground.
[D#m] [E] But if the prospects [F#] pay up it's not about [B] going underground.
[E] But if the boys are [F#] single, if the boys are [B] shallow, tomorrow.
[E] [F#] .
[D] People might get some pleasure out to hate me.
I've done enough for it, it all might.
People might need some attention to relax me.
I'm too busy dodging freedom [B] threats.
[D#m] You see here's what you get.
[B] You've made your bed, your [D#m] bed's a lie.
[B] You choose your leaders, [D#m] you place your trust.
[B] The lies of your [D#m] town and their promises crust.
[E] You see here's the machines, [F#] the rockets [B] and guns.
And the public wants [D#m] what the public gets.
[E] But I don't give [F#] a f if the science runs.
[B] It's a custom going underground.
But [E] if the prospects pay [F#] up it's not about [B] going underground.
But [E] if the boys are [F#] single, if the boys are [C#m] shallow, tomorrow.
[B] La la la [C#m] la, [B] la la la [C#m] la.
With that kind of talk [B] I feel my head is close.
[C#m] I've turned on the [B] news and my body [D#] froze.
This brain shit [E] from my TV [F#] screen.
At this point I shout, I'm just like.
[C#] We going underground.
[Fm] [C#] We [G#] [C#] going [Fm] underground.
[C#] [G#] We [B] going underground.
[D#] [E] I'm [F#] [G#m] going underground.
[E] [F#] [C#] .
[B] La la la [C#] la, [Bm] la la la [A] la.
[B] La la la [A] la, [Bm] la la la [D#] la.
Brain shit [E] from my TV [F#] screen.
At this point I shout, I'm just like.
[C#] We going [Fm] underground.
[F#] But if the prospects [G#] pay up it's not about [C#] going underground.
[Fm] [F#] But if the boys are single, [G#m] if the boys are shallow, [C#] going underground.
But [Fm] [F#] if the prospects pay up [G#] it's not about [C#] going underground.
[Fm] But if [F#] the boys [G#] are single, if the boys are shallow, [F#] going underground.
