Pantera - The Underground In America Lyrics






Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world

Glass breaks
the dimming lights
sweat, heat and profane debate
the smart ones stay on the outside
while drunken heads and arms erupt

centered man swings a punch,
spits a tooth, postures odd
a punk rock escapade
five bucks a head to be king dick in the crowd

We are the ones who must sport the position

cheap beer
trendy clicks
lesbian love is accepted and right
shaved heads meet hair in the mix
blending the 80's and 90's with hate

Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world

Shows on
dates canceled
kicked out for reasons that seem so unfair
skin crusts against the cops
a foregone conclusion that's tired and beat

Ringworm,crabs and lice
V.D. ecstasy, speed and horse
a heaven of unmatched importance
an honor of sex to be stuck by the punk

Rich homes with money and food
abandoned for the bums on the street
a lifestyle that's unexplainable
don't try and save what is all meant to be

Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world

If it is free
from (a) family that's seen
you can just keep it
if you must beg
it's better instead
you must follow the etiquette

You know when it rains you're in your bed at home
You act so real when you are alone
You better not let the mohawked crowd see
Give it five years, you'll retire your piercings
You must admit that you mimic the weaklings

    IMO this is Panteras' best album and this is my favorite song. Their other albums are great but this is just so brutal. This was also my first introduction to metal. A kid in 9th grade class gave it to me and I probably listened to it a 1000 times.

    FAKE, FAKE, ,FAKE, FAKE!!! HELLYEAH!!!! PANTERA NEVERS DIE

  59. D.... C....

    Won't ever hear anything close to this EVER again! Man these guys were so original, Dimes riffs on this track with Vinnie's drums hittin' hard AF! Phil's vocals, Haha ya FUCK! The Trend is DEAD!!! So good

  60. 9.... i....

    While I love Cowboys,Vulgar & Far Beyond ...... I think this was there Penacle,where the cracks were starting to show &there were signs something wasnt right ........ and I think it made this album even more disgustingly Brutal & great.

    9.... i....

    97warlock ismyname this is geniuos and pure album. amazing

  61. S.... A....

    so intense all the way
    trendkill is the best album i heard

  62. k.... l....

    I know this album is 22 years old but I just found out it cam out on my 16th bday what a sweet 16 for me eh lol

  63. F.... N....

    RIP Vinnie \m/

  64. R.... V....

    Everyone is always giving some much credit to Vinnie Dime and Philly boy, but does nobody realize how good fucking Rex is, to keep up with someone like Dime and give every song a sexy deep under tone, like fuck. Patera's success wasn't only on Vinnie Dime and Phil, they were a well oiled machine they all were fucking great. RIP The Abbot brothers, The trend is dead.

    R.... V....

    he was just a bassist buddy

  65. G.... C....

    I hope you met your brother again

    A.... ....

    Vinnie & Dimebag are back together in heaven kicking ass \m/

  71. A.... h....

    intro is 100% Black Sabbath style, thank you Dime for what you have left to the world.

  72. J.... H....

    0:36 Same riff used in Sandblasted skin

  73. S.... Z....

    Anybody feels like Slipknot ripped off the opening riff here for The Devil In I?

    S.... Z....

    no not at all

  74. M.... D....

    I heard a riff in here from sandblasted skin haha

    M.... D....

    kidding right??

  75. J.... L....

    Awesome song to headbang with different rhythms within the song hah

  76. P.... ....

    That Mohawk crowd ya fuck! Better not let em see. ..

  77. a.... d....

    this is pantera my friend, heaviest as fuck, this song and this album is so underrated

  78. s.... ....

    Easily the best Pantera album and no one else seems to think so.

    s.... ....

    It's up there

    s.... ....

    ive always thought the great southern trend kill was the best PANTERA album.

    s.... ....

    Clif H me too and it changed the way I looked at music 🤘

    s.... ....

    I agreed 💯. Best metal album of all time for me.

    s.... ....

    Worrying about what others think is where you're fuckin up.

  79. J.... H....

    I just wish it were a little bit heavier.

  80. S.... K....

    That "OOH" at 3:35 has to be one of the nastiest "oohs" I've ever heard. If that doesn't make you wanna headbang then you have a serious issue and need to stay far away from everyone lol

  81. A.... d....

    Underrated song, and you know.......Vinnie Paul and Darrell was the best combination, pure power

    A.... d....

    well, without mr Anselmo they sucked

    A.... d....

    @Thulean Einherjar what

    A.... d....

    @Thulean Einherjar mmmmmmmmm, naaaaa, for me this is the most brutal álbum Ever Made, and Anselmo is one of the reason, but the brothers had the talent, Anselmo the attitude, my favorite vocals here, was a super group

  82. J.... L....

    A lifestyle that is so unexplainable

  83. K.... C....

    How can anybody thumbs down a Pantera Song? They need Five minutes alone with me.

    K.... C....

    By clicking?

  84. N.... W....

    cheap beer trendy clicks

  85. J.... B....

    FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! ⚡💀

  86. c.... Z....

    he's kinda prophetic here.

  87. D.... D....

    God is Satan no more!!!!

  88. R.... T....

    This and sandblasted are like the same song to me.THE TREND IS FUCKING DEAD!!!

  89. F.... ....

    I don't know about ya'll but his this is a personal favorite along with the reprise :P

  90. F.... ....

    Still fucking killing it to me.
    THE LOVE FOR PANTERA FOR LIFE!

  91. b.... j....

    at the beginning of this song sounds like a type of song I've heard other then this and my assumption from that is I think slipknots devil in I is sampled from that defiantly sounds like It

  92. J.... ....

    The guitar solo at 3:05 is so sick

  93. A.... K....

    If you want to do genocide, killing pussy people, listen to this brillant motherfucking shit!!!

  94. b.... ....

    hit it dime 225

  95. b.... ....
