Underground Man Lyrics

I spent three years in a hovel

On the outskirts of the city

It was like a Russian novel

I was addicted to pity

It was fun, but now it's gone

It was right next to a graveyard

Man it had a kind of magic

When I got drunk and lost my keys

I'd end up pissing on the Catholics

It was fun, but now it's gone

I guess it's time to be a man

If I know how then I'll be damned

I ain't seen nothing that's worth growing up to be

But if I ain't gonna change

I'll just get used to being me

I spent my days in a basement

Where I barely made a living

Hating all the strangers

Who would pay for my assistance

It was dumb, but now it's gone

I got so good at hating

Every piece of my existence

That I drank away my savings

'cause I saw no point in living

It was fun, but now it's gone

I'm just a sick and spiteful man

Why would I bother making plans?

I ain't seen nothing that's worth growing up to be

But if I ain't gonna change

I'll just get used to being me

I met a girl on a website

She was mean but she was pretty

We would loiter in the graveyard

And complain about the city

It was fun, but now she's gone

Oh, she loved the things I loved

Literature and Little Richard

She thought up a future

While I thought up ways to ditch her

Cut and run, and now she's gone

I had a chance to be man

I let it slip right through my hands

I ain't seen nothing that's worth growing up to be

If I ain't gonna change

I'll just get used to being me
