Lyrics (Thanks, Frank!):
We keep tryin
To use our minds
But they wont give us the proper time
They wont let us see their government files
I dont know about you
But I dont wanna be a number any longer

Were not risin
Any higher
In fact
Were barely survivin

[Chorus]
And we keep goin underground
Were goin down, were goin down
And I cant keep my head above the ground
We keep goin
Were goin underground

I cant get ahead in the modern world
I keep on fightin
To get my voice heard
And everyone just wants to make their pockets full
We wont ever change for a dollar bill
(Or will we?)

Were not tryin to make anyone rich
And for ourselves were not doin a very good job of it

[Chorus]

Yeah were goin underground
Underneath it all
Where no light shines
Were gonna get to the truth
We dont need no radio!

[Chorus]

Well I dont think I can take it any longer
We been workin too hard and were getting nowhere
You can hide yourself in a bottle of wine
You wont make money make money
Make money off us all the time

We dont care who you work for
We just know what we stand for

[Chorus]
