Orphaned from society, left from the pack
Eb(4) E(4) C# E C#
Looking for acceptance that you lack

This is the underground. If you’re out there, you’re here.

Now that you’ve been found, it is clear. You’re a little bit quirky.

This is the underground. If you’re out there, you’re here.

The dumpster is open, 24 hours a day.
Eb(3) E(4) C# E C#
Minus the slurpee and cold drinks.
Eb(5) E B B Bb(4) E
Like a 7 - 11, but you don’t have to pay.

We compost food that really stinks. (Grow a community garden.)

Eb(4) E B(2) Ab(2) E
Do you hear the dumpster song.

Hear the sound, the dumpster cries.

Dive into this lunchcart, a midnight buffett.

Explore my cave, I have a suprise.
