  • Oh, I feel it coming round
    I hear it, sounds like the good life
    I know
    Oh, I see this running down
    Defiance comes, oh
    The underground is overground
    The overground will pull you down
    It's how it goes in these times
    How we know it's in their eyes
    Upstarts now are on their way
    Upstarts now have to pay

    Oh, I hear us coming round
    Denial comes, oh
    The underground is overground
    The overground will pull you down
    It's how it goes in these times
    How we know it's in our eyes
    Upstarts now are on their way
    Upstarts now have to pay
    And hear, they tell it now so fast

    Oh, I hear us coming round
    Oh, I feel it
    Upstarts are on their way Writer/s: JAMES DOVIAK, JOHNNY MARR
