[Verse 1]

There's a way I've been told

If we walk together

Keeps us from this cold

On the sidewalks of these streets

Lie the broken dreams

Scattered at our feet


[Chorus]

Lead me on, I don't mind

I'll come forward laughing every time

All my friends, they've gone underground

Go underground


[Verse 2]

There's a shadow on this land

A growing darkness

Cruel and senseless hand

This block won't be the same

Now the music's there

But somehow something's changed


[Chorus]

Lead me on, I don't mind

I'll come forward laughing every time

All my friends they've gone underground

I got burned, left too quick

Got myself locked outside the heart of it

All my friends they've gone

Underground, go underground, go underground


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

There's a song that I've heard

Rising up above the streets

Of this crumbling world

'Bout the sadness in every day

How it leaves and takes

A bit of your faith away


[Chorus]

Lead me on I don't mind

I'll come forward laughing every time

All my friends they've gone

Underground

I got burned left too quick

Got myself locked outside the heart of it

All my friends they've gone underground

Go underground, go underground
