[Verse 1]
D                 D6                  D
Some people might say my life is in a rut
              D6                D
But I'm quite happy with what I got
             D6                           D
People might say that I should strive for more
           D6                    B
But I'm so happy I can't see the point
                     D#m
Somethings happening here today
  B                          D#m
A show of strength with your boys brigade
    B                D#m
And I'm so happy and you're so kind
    B                        D#m
You want more money of course   I don't mind
       E                      F#
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes
        B                    D#m
And the public gets what the public wants
    E                   F#
But I want nothing this societys got

[Chorus]
          B                  D#m
I'm going underground (going underground)
         E                         F#
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
      B                  D#m
Going underground (going underground)
             E                     F#
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout
      B
For tomorrow

[Verse 2]
D                 D6                       D
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
          D6                  D
Me, I've enough already on my plate
             D6                     D
People might need some tension to relax
Me,
        D6                       B
I'm too busy dodging between the flak
                D#m
What you see is what you get
       B
You've made your bed,
           D#m
you better lie in it
    B                       D#m
You choose your leaders and place your trust
         B                            D#m
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
           E                           F#
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
        B                     D#m
And the public wants what the public gets
    E                     F#
But I don't get what this society wants

[Chorus]
          B                  D#m
I'm going underground (going underground)
         E                         F#
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
      B                  D#m
Going underground (going underground)
             E                     F#
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout
      C#m
For tomorrow

I turn on the news and my body froze

[Pre-Chorus]

The braying sheep on my TV screen

Make this boy shout,
