[01:03.03]They'd blown their cover [01:04.82]And we tried to smother [01:06.84]Their voices with sound [01:08.10] [01:10.24]In the days of the underground [01:13.83] [01:20.81]Whatever happened [01:21.74]To those chromium heroes [01:23.71]Are there none of them still left around [01:26.29] [01:27.98]Since the days of the underground [01:29.93] [01:44.31]Now we can look back [01:45.70]At the heroes we were then [01:47.52]We made quite a stir [01:48.69]With our sonic attack [01:50.47] [01:52.69]Street-fighting dancers [01:54.29]The assassins of silence [01:56.07]With make-believe violence [01:57.80]On a hundred watt stack [01:59.27] [02:01.55]They offered us contracts [02:03.15]We said we don't need 'em [02:04.78]We'll just take our freedom [02:06.44]And will not be bound [02:07.85] [02:10.01]In the days of the underground [02:13.80] [02:20.72]And some of us made it [02:22.29]But not smiling Michael [02:23.30] [02:23.81]His black motorcycle got eaten by rust [02:27.02] [02:29.45]And John the Bog dreamt [02:30.89]That he slept at the wheel [02:32.65]But when he woke it was real [02:34.27]Too late to have sussed [02:35.71] [02:38.15]And Jeff was a poet [02:39.63]Who wrote with a spray can on walls [02:42.06]Saying Hey man [02:43.23]I believe that we've drowned [02:44.91] [02:46.43]In the days of the underground
