Born in a time that wasn’t made to last
In nineteen seventy seven, but it went fast
Johnny told us to rise, not to give a shit
And then Kiss Me Deadly and we had a hit
Last night in the Roxy we made love on the floor
We shot up in the bathroom and said we were bored
You are here tonight and you hear these sounds
We are still kings and queens of the underground
I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around
We are still kings and queens of the underground
Nineteen eighty four and Rebel Yell had the floor
And all he said was more more more
Well I touched you with my Eyes Without A Face
I was Hot in the City —
But I didn’t know then when I was in your front room
On MTV baby, I was high as the moon
If you are here tonight and you hear these sounds
We are still kings and queens of the underground
I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around
We are still kings and queens of the underground
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Sold all my vinyl —
And I thought rock ’n’ roll couldn’t do me no harm
Now I’m rolling a joint and I’m dressed in black
If we lose the music baby we can never go back
But if you’re here tonight and you hear these sounds
We are still kings and queens of the underground
I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around
We are still kings and queens of the underground
Jonesy said, “Bill, don’t be profound
If you are still a king of the underground”
If you hear my voice and you dig these Rebel sounds
Still kings and queens of the underground
Here tonight
I wanna dig these sounds
I’m still a king of the underground
If you hear my voice and dig these Rebel sounds
Still kings and queens of the Underground
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
Ooh golden years
