Kings & Queens Of The Underground Lyrics - Kings & Queens Of The Underground - Billy Idol

Born in a time 

That wasn't made to last 

In 1977 - it went fast 

Johnny told us to rise 

Not to give a shit 

And then "Kiss Me Deadly" 

And we had a hit 

Last night in the Roxy 

We made love on the floor 

We shot up in the bathroom 

And said we were bored 

If you are here tonight 

And you hear these sounds 

We are still kings & queens of the underground 

I don't mean to be profound 

But if I'm still around 

We are still kings & queens 

Of the underground 

1984 and "Rebel Yell" had the floor 

All they said, was "more more more" 

Well I touched you with 

My "Eyes Without A Face" 

I was "Hot In The City" 

Yes, I thought I was ace 

I didn't know then 

When I was in your front room 

On MTV, baby 

I was high as the moon 

If you are here tonight 

And you hear these sounds 

We are still kings & queens 

Of the underground 

I don't mean to be profound 

But if I'm still around 

We are still kings & queens of the underground 

Ooh, ooh, golden years 

Sold all my vinyl 

It went up my arm 

And I thought rock and roll 

Couldn't do me no harm 

Now I'm rolling a joint 

And I'm dressed in black 

If we lose the music baby 

We can never go back 

And if you're here tonight 

And you hear these sounds 

We are still kings & queens of the underground 

I don't mean to be profound 

But if I'm still around 

We are still kings & queens 

Of the underground 

Jonesy said, "Bill, don't be profound, 

If you are still a king of the underground" 

If you hear my voice 

And you dig these rebel sounds 

Still kings & queens of the underground 

Here tonight 

I wanna dig these sounds 

I'm still a king of the underground 

If you hear my voice 

Dig these rebel sounds 

We're still kings & queens of the underground 

Ooh, ooh, golden years
