Lyrics

Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Says Nostradamus, "It's coming soon" Red sun and rainstorms will have us all So I built Noah's Ark in my basement For all the hind-legged people that I love They gave confession in my fallout shelter And I'm particular about people in my home I had to seal the ventilation shaft Now I'm dancing on my own Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground I'm hot, I'm flushed, I'm cold I've got a headache that's lasted since the weekend Another party and I got too out of hand "Help me", I cried, but only in amazement Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation had been found That's the soundest foundation for my nation underground I didn't save your life I only raised your life off the floor You come to me to praise your life Say can I change your life And guide your life through the door Hey Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation had been found That's the soundest foundation for my nation underground Who's rushin' in now? Taken in the arms of the lord While my heart says, "No, no, no, no" Seein' is believin', open up the gates of hell I didn't save your life I only raised your life off the floor You come to me to praise your life Say can I change your life And guide your life through the door Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground
