Poor Folks - The Underground Man (Audio)

Lyrics:

I am a sick man...
I am a spiteful man.
I am an unattractive man.
I think my liver is diseased,
But I refuse to treat it, just to disturb the peace.
I sit in my corner, forty years in the dark,
Listening to the silence, waiting for the spark.
I know the truth, oh yes, I know it all
But I smash my head against the stone wall.

They built a Crystal Palace, a monument to reason,
But I commit the ultimate treason!
Two plus two makes four, they say, it’s nature’s law,
But two plus two is five, I stand in awe!
I want the chaos! I want the pain!
I want to rot inside the rain!

An intelligent man cannot become anything,
Only a fool becomes a something.
I am a mouse, conscious and aware,
Constructing a hell from the stagnant air.
You talk of profit, of advantage and gain,
But have you tasted the sweetness of a toothache’s pain?
The moan of the sufferer, the educated scream,
Waking you up from your rational dream.

Let the world go to hell...
As long as I can drink my tea.
Am I a hero? Or a louse?
Trapped inside this underground house.
Consciousness is a disease!
A disease!

Smash the Crystal Palace! Break the monument to reason!
I commit the ultimate treason!
Two plus two makes four is a gentleman of death,
I’ll curse the logic with my dying breath!
I want the chaos! I want the pain!
I want to rot inside the rain!

I am a sick man.
I am a spiteful man.
Leave me alone...
Leave me alone...
