Gaslight Anthem, The - Underneath The Ground Lyrics






That's enough, my man, it's time to clap our hands.
Call the papers up tomorrow, say we did the best we can.
Cause our doctor's in the hospital, the poet just laid down.
There's one good man I know, and he can't talk right now.

I'd like to hear what you'd say to me if I was bulletproof and free again.
Or what you'd shout if I was dead in the ground, and buried under another name?

Or would you talk about if I loved her now?
Tell my sins to God out loud.
Would you cry, cry 'cause I was gone?
Would you spit and hiss and curse my name,
And embarrass me to the other graves?
Would you lay right down with me, underneath the ground?

Now who you think I am? Worse than all the rest?
That's what I'll be now, just like no one said.
Did anybody see that? There's a crack right down my head.
But mama, how they'll cheer for us, while the blood drips down our legs.

I'd like to know if you could see through the soul like I could see to your soul back then.
And reach your hands through all the hurt and defenses, would you still try if you knew I was gone?

Or would you talk about if I loved her now?
Tell my sins to God out loud.
Would you cry, cry 'cause I was gone?
Would you spit and hiss and curse my name,
And embarrass me to the other graves?
Would you lay right down with me, underneath the ground?
Underneath the ground?

(I wanna caution you to watch out for the wolves.
And for the mad, mad weather.
I wanna caution you to watch out for the wolves.
And for someday, when you're older)

Or would you talk about if I loved her now?
Tell my sins to God out loud.
Would you cry, cry 'cause I was gone?
Would you spit and hiss and curse my name,
And embarrass me to the other graves?
Would you lay right down with me, underneath the ground?
Underneath the ground?

I wanna thank you all for your courtesy.
I wanna thank you all for watching us bleed.
I wanna thank you all for your courtesy.
I wanna thank you all for watching us bleed.
Underneath the ground.

  6. R.... S....

    Although I'm into a lot of Chicago/Electric Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Folk music...
    THIS Album and the 59 Sound got me through the last year of high school... Amazing band, feels like a big change in the air knowing they broke up. Right as I finished school, sounds silly but it almost feels that that means something, one chapter of my life is done and i'm moving into another. Same with these guys. Lots of Love from Canada,
    Ryan

    my best friend killed himself Feb 15 he made me a CD this song was on there. my wife came to me one day crying after a fight and threw the CD at me and said "maybe if you listen to it you could have saved him".. I feel like she was right like it was a cry for help. I'm so sorry johnny I love you bro I miss you soo much I have no one to talk to who gets me like you did man why did you do this

    J.... M....

    This just made me tear up. I am sorry! Stay strong man.

    J.... M....

    whether you had listed to his CD or not... probably wouldn't have changed his choice to end his pain...for anyone to even suggest that to you ..if selfish and self-centered...

    J.... M....

    Joshua Murrey Your wife 's a bitch man. It's not fair for anyone to suggest that

    J.... M....

    I lost two of the modt important people in my life this year to self inflicted gun shots to the head. I feel broken and sadly I really do not think there is anything I could have done to save them. We have to pray for our own strength. Thank God for the time were blessed to have them.

    J.... M....

    Brother, we simply don't know how deep the hurt goes! It's easier said then done to not feel guilt over someones actions like taking their own life, but cut your self some slack my friend! Remember him, remember the good, the laughs the things you guys went thru! Ps brother, your wife may have been upset, but that was way out of line and i hope you two talked it out!

  8. A.... P....

    This song is so underrated. Actually the whole band, these guys are amazing <3

  9. a.... ....

    Love this song. Wow, it's so good!

  10. V.... M....

    Русские слушатели вспомните песню Любэ - Солдат.Ребята из ГА вдохновились этой песней что не могли не спиздить сэмпл)

  11. M.... L....

    Can anyone figure out what's the spoken lyrics between the chorus and the second verse ? I can't find them anywhere D:

    M.... L....

    I caution you, to watch out for the wolves, for the mad American weather
    I feel the breeze, it warms the cheek, there are ghosts in this house
    We imagine ourselves incapable of horror, but the heart is like a viper,
    Poison, and there are hidden regions in your love

    M.... L....

    @nic corbett is that from something or original?

    M.... L....

    +Mv Peace I've wondered that, sounds like a line from a 70's horror or something :')
    It's awesome!

  12. S.... C....

    Another perfect album its impossible for them to make a bad record!! TGA are a huge inspiration to me if anyone gets a chance check out "Chicago May" on my channel new track from my EP..Thank You

  13. S.... ....

    "I wanna thank you all for your courtesy.
    I wanna thank you all for watching us bleed."

    Getting the chills from those lyrics, my absolute favorite track on the album.

    S.... ....

    Yeah I told Brian on Twitter that he wasn't bleeding alone. Gaslight has helped me through a lot of pain in my life. "Nothing like a soul that's been cut up the same"

    S.... ....

    Im just going through a divorce after a 7 year relationship. I connect very strongly with this song and this album. It is one of the worst and sunken feelings in the world when you have to sever ties with someone you have shared so many memories with, someone you emotionally invest in.

    S.... ....

    @Sea Change my girlfriend died last February she was sick for over a year and lost the battle but this band has been something else since then , all I listen too

  14. S.... A....

    Definitely one of the best songs on the album

  15. g.... ....

    g.... ....

    @Cameron S  its the horrible crowes a side band of brians. you should check them out

    +Abdul Rashid 
    Now that's Brian's main band I think? since TGA split

    g.... ....

    @Cameron S Horrible Crow's

  16. M.... F....

    One of the best songs of the new album if you ask me

  17. D.... W....
