Overdrive Orchestra - Underground lyrics

rate me

It's been a long year, living underground

With no place to call my own

And there's no shelter here, standing in the cold

And nobody even knows

Oh lord, you let me down

Laid my friend beneath the ground

Burn my letters, hold my calls

'Till there's nothing left at all

A week's gone by, the changes written on the wall

He was a boy about my age

He slipped and fell into a never-ending sleep

Left his stories on the page

Oh lord, you let him down

Cut him off and shut him up

How'd you like it if I played you just the same?

Oh wait, I think that I just did

It's been a long year, living underground

Hanging pictures on the wall

Won't you break me from this prison cell so cold?

And lead me down that hall

Oh lord, you let us down

Cut the chord and watch us burn

Won’t you laugh it up, there’s more to go around

Don’t you know that it’s your turn?
