Underground Man

takes half a billion to run to be prez
you can’t suck that from the ghetto or rez
we’re all serfs on the company spread

brave new world 1984
quaintly recedes to the past’s far shore
no one’s dreaming about utopia now

and if i had an answer i’d show you the plan
i’m just another angry underground man
hoping we can somehow muddle through

the tv peddles pr for the state
business means love and america’s so great
they call it treason when you don’t drop to your knees

i’d like to blame shrub and cheney et al
and yes they’re gangsters and should take a fall
but we’ve been paving this freeway for so long

and if i had an answer i’d show you the plan
i’m just another angry underground man
hoping we can somehow muddle through

so now every one of us goes it alone
it’s what you consume and all you can own
we’re mostly hustlers with nowhere to go

stupor at home and torture abroad
one bit tyrants we numbly applaud
if this is freedom what would bondage be

and if i had an answer i’d show you the plan
i’m just another angry underground man
hoping we can somehow muddle through
