"Underground Dream"


Had a thought that consumer goods were bad
Like a rat can never beat the wheel
There is a wiretap stealing a nightmare
Shadows laughing and making deals
Let your hair hang down for this moment
Heavy trial but we’ll make it disappear

They can’t take away
This underground dream

Guns or education
The answer’s larger than the Hollywood sign
Bigger souls can see the writing
On the burning wall of eternity
The bastions of penitentiary
Reaction will pull broken hearts through

The can’t take away
This underground dream
