about

lyrics

You think you’re special
‘Cause you’re a rebel
Like no one else has sung this song before
And I admire
Your fire
But stop pretending this has never been done before

Going underground
Is so mainstream
To be unique, you can’t have groupthink

‘Cause everyone’s a rebel till the system goes their way
Then no one complains
You fight the power till the power’s yours to take
Then it’s all okay
Take it from me
You won’t get away so clean
‘Cause we are, we are, we are the machine

Put on the get-up
Throw your fist up
Like you’re the first to ever think this way
I’m not upset, and
I’m not threatened
By your humming of a tune the bandwagon plays

Going underground
Is so mainstream
Counter-culture doesn’t work both ways, it seems
