Lyrics
Underworld USA
They want something for nothing
There ain't nothing worth discussing
Talking never did do no good
Every day we're adjusting
Every day we're re-upping
It's like the founders said
The jaws of power are always open to devour
I had occasion of the brokedowns
The lowdowns, the depressives
It was good enough for me
Everyone's a winner
Everybody's dinner
You dined on us so long
You lost the taste for delicacy
Underworld USA
Such a great work of fiction
Pray they'll heighten the contradictions
And hasten to the end
It's okay to lay out
It's just the same progression throughout
I'm not a torturer
Although it is so often what people deserve
They're subtractors and adders
They're just snakes on the ladder
You think they'll do you no injury
When you hold court it's superior
Your whole world is interior
Recollected from something like last week
Soaring wistfully above a misery
I had made a list of
Potential disappointments
I want to spend the night with me
It's just so difficult to do
Everyone is listening
Everyone is insisting
You're not quite to my taste
But you can't say that Dallas doesn't love you
