They put on uniforms of blood thirsty thieves
And marched through the gardens of Adam and Eve
Stealing fruit from the earth's only trees
Forcing names onto contracts hanging off their sleeves
The bluebird sings to the alley cat
The food for the dog's eaten by the street rat
King walks by, peasants tip their hats
Tell me, can you fathom that?
Underneath the ground I'll wait
Underneath the ground always
Underneath the ground I'll be
Underneath the ground
Isn't she lovely? Watch her drown
Isn't she lovely? Hold her down
Underneath the ground I'll wait
Underneath the ground always
Underneath the ground I'll be
Underneath the ground
