Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I’m quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I’m so happy I can’t see the point.
Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy’s brigade and,
I’m so happy and you’re so kind
You want more money – of course I don’t mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes

And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society’s got –
I’m going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I’ve enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
[Me?] I’m too busy dodging between the flak

What you see is what you get
You’ve made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies put you down and their promises rust
You’ll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns

And the public wants what the public gets
But I don’t get what this society wants
I’m going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
[So] let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

We talk and we talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
The braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!

Going underground, I’m going underground!

Prevod pesme

Odlazim u ilegalu

Neki bi možda rekli da je moj život dosadan,
Ali ja sam poprilično zadovoljan onim što imam
Ljudi bi možda rekli da bih nečemu boljem trebalo da težim,
Ali ja sam ovako srećan te smisao ne vidim.
Danas se ovde nešto dešava
Demonstracija snage sa četom tvoga momka i,
Ja sam tako srećan a vi ste veoma ljubazni
Želite više novca – naravno, meni ne smeta
da kupite nuklearne priručnike za atomske zločine

A javnost želi ono što javnost dobija
ali ja ne želim ništa što ovo društvo ima  da pruži –
Ja odlazim u ilegalu (odlazim u ilegalu)
Trubači sviraju a stopala počinju da lupaju
Idem u ilegalu, (idem u ilegalu)
Pusti momke da pevaju i svi momci za sutrašnjicu uzvikuju

Neki ljudi možda u mržnji uživaju
Ja, već imam sve što mi treba
Nekima možda treba malo napetosti da bi se opustili
[Ja?] Ja sam previše zauzet izvrdavajući kritike

To što vidiš to i dobiješ
Sam sebi sudbinu krojiš
Sam biraš svoje vođe i kome ćeš pokloniti poverenje
dok te njihove laži osuđuju a obećanja iščezavaju
videćeš aparate za dijalizu zamenjene raketama i puškama

A javnost želi ono što javnost dobija
ali, šta ovo društvo hoće, ja ne kapiram
Ja odlazim u ilegalu (odlazim u ilegalu)
Trubači sviraju a stopala počinju da lupaju
Idem u ilegalu, (idem u ilegalu)
[Dakle] Pusti momke da pevaju i svi momci za sutrašnjicu uzvikuju

Pričamo i pričamo dok mi glava ne eksplodira
Upalim vesti i smrznem se
Blejeća ovca na mom TV ekranu
Naterajte ovog momka da viče, naterajte ovog momka da vrišti!

Idem u ilegalu, ja odlazim u ilegalu!
