lyrics

My father and his father always lived underground

And they wanted me to do the same.

But always doing what you're told and never rebelling

Can drive someone insane.

So I’ll just smile and nod without batting an eye

And say I'll keep the tradition.

I wonder what’s waiting out there for me,

I’m so tired of this condition
.

Everybody says I should stay out of sight.

There's never any drama when I'm out of mind

The impression that I get is if I take up flight

I'll leave so much behind.


From a classy New York to a classy San Diego,

I was rolling around in the underground.

One day I got curious and poked my head out

I couldn't believe what I'd found.

So many people with different tastes 

I wanted to be part of the scene

But nothing could prepare me for what happened next

It was something out of a dream.


Somebody came up to me and said "I dig your style,

Would you like to make a million bucks?"

"I'll show you to the public and they'll love every minute

As you tell them that everything sucks."


So I'll live my life

With no regrets.

Take a chance and never look back again.

If you're afraid of failure

Then don't forget,

That is why you fail
And the window of opportunity passes you by.

At first, it sounded sweet so I said "We have a deal"

And I signed above the dotted line.

But 15 minutes goes so fast they want something new,

Now ya don't cut even every time.

I'd like to say don't let the bastards grind you down,

but eventually it takes its toll.

So there's one thing left to do and I should do it soon

before I lose my soul.


I'm going underground, I’m going back to my roots.

I know I've got nothing to lose.

The impression that I get is I'll be welcomed back,

I hope they don't refuse.


So I'll live my life

With no regrets.

Take a chance and never look back again.

If you're afraid of failure

Then don't forget,

That is why you fail
And the window of opportunity passes you by.
