The Underground In America

Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world

Glass breaks/the dimming lights/sweat, heat and profane debate/
the smart ones stay on the outside/while drunken heads and arms erupt/
centered man swings a punch, spits a tooth, postures odd/
a punk rock escapade/five bucks a head to be king dick in the crowd

We are the ones who must sport the position
cheap beer/trendy clicks/lesbian love is accepted and right/
shaved heads meet hair in the mix/blending the 80's and 90's with hate

Shows on/dates canceled/kicked out for reasons that seem so unfair/
skin crusts against the cops/a foregone conclusion that's tired and beat

Ringworm,crabs and lice/V.D. ecstasy, speed and horse/a
heaven/of unmatched importance/an honor of sex to be stuck by the punk

Rich homes/with money and food/abandoned for the bums on the street/
a lifestyle that's unexplainable/don't try and save what is all meant to be

If it is free/from (a) family that's seen/you can just keep
it if you must beg/it's better instead/you must follow the etiquette

You know when it rains you're in your bed at home
You act so real when you are alone
