Days Of The Underground Lyrics - Quark, Strangeness & Charm - Hawkwind

In visions of acid we saw through delusion 

and brainbox pollution, we knew we were right 

The streets were our oyster, we smoked urban poison 

and we turned all this noise on, we knew how to fight 

We dropped out and tuned in, we spoke secret jargon 

and we would not bargain for what We had found 

in the days of the underground 

We believed in Guevera, we saw that head held up 

and our anger welled up but we kept it cool 

No need for machine guns 'cause the system was crumbling, 

our leaders were fumbling While we broke every rule 

We saw them on T.V. they'd blown their cover 

and we tried to smother their voices With sound, 

in the days of the underground

Whatever happened to those chromium heroes, 

are there none of them still left around, 

since The days of the underground? 

Now we can look back at the heroes we were then, 

we made quite a stir then with our sonic attack, 

street-fighting dancers, the assassins of silence, 

with make-believe violence on a hundred watt stack 

They offered us contracts, we said "we don't need 'em", 

we'll just take our freedom and will not be bound 

in the days of the underground.

And some of us made it but not smiling Michael 

His black motorcycle got eaten by rust 

And John the Bog dreamt that he slept at the wheel 

But when he woke it was real, too late to have sussed 

And Jeff was a poet who wrote with a spray can on walls 

Saying "Hey man, I believe that we've drowned" 

In the days of the underground
