Underground Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Ex Abrupto 

Cover art for Underground lyrics by Tom Waits

Like Zemi said it is probably about some " lower class beings ". It could also be about ants. But of course it has a double meaning. We humans think we own the earth, but ants are much more numerous than we are, and they are almost everywhere on the planet. Perhaps, if all humanity dies, they will still live. It's about fearing people who work harder than you. One time or another, they will throw you out of your throne and you will find yourself UNDERGROUND!
