It's about the February 1, 1960 sit in at the Woolworth's in Greensboro, North Carolina and the civil rights movement in general. I believe the "underground" is a reference to the Underground Railroad.
@VerbalVeNom Wrong, it's about Woolworths (no apostraphe) - a former retail chain in the UK. "Underground" refers to London Underground, of which Stockwell tube station is a part of ("Youths meet at Stockwell tube").
In short the song is actually mocking suburban teenagers who see themselves as subversive rebels.
