Am X4
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Somewhere deep down underground at the bottom of a pit
Am
in a mine below the city steely muscles ache and split,
Dm
where childhood songs and tales, heal the wound from your remorse,
AmEm
where window shopping eyes go, looking for the source.
[Verse 2]
Am
We were all born naked with nothing in our cup,
Am
ten million tons of stone where the cities all grew up
Dm
and the walls of Necropolis, breathing pain sweat and hope,
AmEm
underground... underground; you can tell the children now.
[Chorus]
AmF
Be the president, be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president, under - [Interlude] ground.
[Interlude]
Am X2
[Verse 3]
Am
In the starry black night there's a feast behind your door,
Am
all them debtcollecting letters get another birthday on your floor;
Dm
down where life is short a party in a dustbin,
AmEm
singing songs to children 'bout no grief looking in.
[Verse 4]
Am
Somewhere deep down underground sledgehammers sing their song
Am
'bout a sun heating up our bodies when the winter has been too long.
Dm
Let it echo in your brain, you're a need, a star, a gong,
AmEm
underground... underground; you can tell the children.
[Chorus]
AmF
Be the president, you be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president, under - [Interlude] ground.
[Interlude]
Am X4
Em
[Chorus]
AmF
Be the president, you be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president,
AmF
be the president, you be the president, under - [Outro] ground.
