The Black Crowes - Darling Of The Underground Press Lyrics

The Black Crowes - Darling Of The Underground Press Lyrics

So the story goes that you
Sold your soul for delusions
of beauty and courage
While young at heart
is a nice place to start
Can the truth hold all this baggage

So tell all you foes
Because my friends know
That your white flag
ain't no sign for surrender
And those books that you've read
have gone straight to your head
And made you the great pretender

I've heard that it's good
to think before you speak
Though I've heard that it's good
to bathe once a week

So tell me how it feels it if even seems real
to be the darling of the underground press
Baby please can I see some ID
I don't believe you come from a royal family

I've heard that it's good
to think before you speak
Though I've heard that it's good
to bathe yourself once a week
Oh I've heard that it's good
to look before you cross
No one, no one will ever find you
if you don't get yourself lost
