Little girl, the world just wants to break you
They've come to dull that look from in your eyes
Don't you know it only makes you stronger
You don't have to try to run and hide

Little boy, the world just wants to trick you
Can't you see that look inside their eyes
Don't you know she only makes you stronger
You don't have to buy into their lies

Go deeper underground
Deeper underground

Little girl, the nights are getting longer
Can't you hear the whispers in the hall
They know that you're only getting stronger
You don't have to answer when they call

Little boy, the days are counting backwards
Can't you read the writing on the wall
Don't you know that fear is what they're after
She'll be there to catch you if you fall

Go deeper underground
Deeper underground
