Pantera - The Underground in America (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)

The intro lick on this with Dime's tone sounds like a Halloween lick haha! Vinnie's double bass sounds really good during the intro too. I feel this song is about some kind of scene of people who are very fake and Pantera hating them lol. Also it's cool how they lead with the chorus, it adds to the uniqueness of the song. This song fits the theme of the album really well, killing the fake trends! Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics 🎤

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
We are the ones who must sport the position
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!
You know when it rains you're in your bed at home
You act so real when you are alone
Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!
You better not let the mohawked crowd see
Haha, ah fuck
Give it five years, you'll retire your piercings
You must admit that you mimic the weaklings

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
The trend is dead!
The trend is dead!
The trend is dead!
The trend is dead!

"This song continues the topic of The Great Southern Trendkill’s title track. This time it’s about the posers that are acting like they are part of America’s underground culture, but in reality are just a bunch of fake weaklings and are trying to look cool."

*Wikipedia Stuff*

"Floods", the album's longest song, contains a guitar solo considered by many to be Dimebag Darrell's finest. Guitar World magazine voted it as the 15th greatest guitar solo of all-time, Darrell's highest-ranking of three solos to make the list (the other two being his solos from "Cemetery Gates", ranked 35th, and "Walk", ranked 57th).

The Great Southern Trendkill is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on May 7, 1996 through East West Records. It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks. Phil Anselmo recorded the vocals alone at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans[3] while Dimebag Darrell, Rex Brown, and Vinnie Paul recorded the music at Chasin Jason Studios in Dalworthington Gardens.

Considered Pantera's most aggressive album,[4] The Great Southern Trendkill is known for featuring much screaming,[5][6] most notably on "Suicide Note Pt. II" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" while also featuring some of the fastest tempos and most down-tuned guitars ("The Underground in America" and "(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin" were played in standard D flat tuning, with the 6th string tuned to a low G flat.)[citation needed] that the band ever recorded. It also has a more experimental nature, such as the acoustic guitars[4] and ballads.[7]
