verse:

Ab2 E F# C#
Orphaned from society, left from the pack

Ab E C# E - 1/2 F# - 1/2
Looking for acceptance that you lack

Ab E F# C#
Is your life a poem in motion, a poem you know so well

Ab E C# E - 1/2 F# - 1/2
Is the property in your head, ready to sell

This is the underground. If you’re out there, you’re here.

Ab E F#
Now that you’ve been found, it is clear. You’re a little bit quirky.

Ab E F# C#
This is the underground. If you’re out there, you’re here.

Now that you’ve been found, it is clear. You’ve probably got issues.

Ab E F# C#
We’re artists, poets, musicians, dreamers, writers

Ab E C# E-1/2 F#-1/2
We’ve left the treadmill of nine to five.

Ab E F# C#
We’re dumpster divers, reclaiming meals on wheels.

Ab E C#
We’ll show you how to dumpster dive. It’s a lot of fun.

verse 3:

Ab E F# C#
The dumpster is open, 24 hours a day.

Ab E C# E-1/2 F#-1/2
Minus the slurpee and cold drinks.

Ab E F# C#
Like a 7-11, but you don’t have to pay.

Ab E F# C#
We compost food that really stinks. (Grow a community garden.)

verse 4:

Ab E F# C#
Do you hear the dumpster song.

Ab E C#
Hear the sound, the dumpster cries.

Ab E F# C#
Dive into this lunchcart, a midnight buffett.

Ab E C#
Explore my cave, I have a surprise.
