Curtis Mayfield – Underground lyrics

(People talking)

Underground.
We now have to deal with our own self-destruction.
We cannot live on the surface of our earth any longer.
There is now pollution from every natural mineral and material taken from the land.
We have truly become a vast wasteland.
And now underground, how will we deal with our society of discrimination among people?
Near to hell. (People screaming)
It's just as well.
What will become of our children?
Underground.

Familiar music, familiar sound.
There's mutual thoughts for the underground.
Long range sight for an eternal night.
Future prophecy for the mass you see.
There'll be equal stay and equal play.
The underground where none can betray.

The underground.
The underground.
The underground.

There will be no light so there can be no sight.
And you'll judge your fellow man.
Understand by what is right.
We'll all turn black, so who's to know.
As a matter of fact, color, creed and breed must go.

The underground.
The underground.

Familiar music, familiar sound.
There's mutual thoughts for the underground.
Long range sight for an eternal night.
Future prophecy for the mass you see.

The underground.
The underground.
The underground.
