Some friends and me get together to play "this is the underground" at Scott's house. Scott tap dances to the music. Ann Powell, Scott Thoreau, Viviana Lang, Phil Harrington, and me, Kris Kemp, sing. Phil Harrington plays drums. I play keyboard. Scott Thoreau tap dances to the music and sings.
lyrics
verse 1:
Orphaned from society, left from the pack
Are you looking for attention that you lack
Is your life a poem in motion? A poem you know so well?
Is the property in your head ready to sell?
(Well if it is, you might just be a candidate for ... )
chorus:
This is the underground. If you're out there, you're here.
And 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
And now that you've been found, it is clear
You've probably got issues
verse 2:
We're artists, poets, musicians, dreamers, and writers
We've left, the treadmill of nine to five
We're dumpster divers, exploring meals on wheels
We'll show you how to dumpster dive, it's a lot of fun
verse 3:
The dumpster is open, 24 hours a day
Minus the slurpee and cold drinks
Like a 7-11, but you don't have to pay
We compost food that really stinks--grow a community garden
chorus:
This is the underground. If you're out there, you're here.
And 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
And now that you've been found, it is clear
You've probably got issues
