"Those Days Of The Underground" lyrics

"Those Days Of The Underground"

In visions of acid
We saw through delusion
Brainbox pollution, we knew we were right
The streets were our oyster
We smoked up the poison
And we turned all their noise on
We knew how to fight

We dropped out and tuned in
Spoke secret jargon
And we would not bargain
For what we had found
In the days of the underground
In the days of the underground

The days of the underground
In the days of the underground

No need for machine guns
Cause the system was crumbling
Our leaders were fumbling
While we broke every rule
We saw them on TV they'd blown their cover
And we tried to smother their voices with sound
In the days
In the days of the underground
In the days of the underground
In those days of the underground

Whatever happened to those chromium heroes
Are there none of them still left around
Since the days of the underground?
Since the days of the underground
Since the days of the underground

We can look back
At the heroes we were then
We made quite a stir then with our sonic attack
Street-fighting dancers
The assassins of silence
With make-believe violence
On a hundred watt stack
They offered us contracts
We said, "We don't need 'em"
We'll just take our freedom
And will not be bound
In the days of the underground
In the days of the underground
