holier than thou, yes it's true
i'm too good for you
higher than heaven, taller than jesus
charlie knows just what you need is
we're going down, down, underground
we're going down, down, underground
trust me i know what is true
what is good for you
here in your heaven, in your hell
are you living, pray tell
we're going down, down, underground
we're going down, down, underground
now you're leaving all your friends behind
all damnations to the family
are you ready to be born again
should you awake
down, down, down
down, down, underground
holier than thou, yes it's true
i'm too good for you
higher than heaven, taller than jesus
charlie knows just what you need is
we're going down, down, underground
we're going down, down, underground
we're going down, down, underground
we're going down, down, underground
