Pokey LaFarge
Underground
[Verse 1]
A hurricane is brewing in the East
While forest fires rage in the West
But when the New Madrid Line
Breaks our poor spine
That’s it, there isn’t anymore

[Verse 2]
Tornadoes twisting in the South
While a blizzard blows down from the North
When them old tectonic plates
Set off the big earthquake
Cities will crumble from shore to shore

[Chorus]
So get ready, I get ready
Listen everybody, can’t you hear that sound?
From the underground, can’t you hear that sound?
From the underground, can’t you hear that sound?

[Verse 3]
The end won’t come from disease
And it won’t be from any nuclear bomb
The ground beneath our feet
Will rise up to meet the fire in the sky, becoming one
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
If there is a God, he’s of the land
And he does not favor any man
Father Time has the final say
But it doesn’t matter anyway
Mother Nature has made a deal and now it’s done

[Chorus]
