Look at the front page; turn on the TV   They fire another round at you and me   Their guns are loaded; they're takin' aim   Nobody told them we're not all the same   No paranoia; nobody could   Just write it off as being Hollywood   The innuendo between the lines    Leaves no confusion 'bout what's on their minds (whoaa)      I won't go underground   I won't turn and flee   I won't bow the knee   I won't go underground   I won't run and hide   From the rising tide   I won't go underground   I won't compromise    What the world denies   I won't go underground   And I'm not ashamed    Of the cross I've claimed (Noooo)      Listen: They've taken notes on what we say   You know they'd like to lock us all away   Can't stop the movement; can't make it slow   Persecution always makes us grow   They've got my number; it's no surprise   I'm here and wearing no disguise   Bring out the lions and heat up the fire   It's not enough to stop this man's desire (Noooo)      I won't go underground   I won't turn and flee   I won't bow the knee   I won't go underground   I'll keep holding fast    To the very last   I won't go underground   I will turn my cheek   I will boldly speak   I won't go underground   I am not ashamed of the cross I've claimed      I know the Spirit behind this force   It's not surprising if you know the Source   I'll pray for freedom for helpless ones   And I'll keep standing till the new day dawns (whoaaa)      I won't go underground   I won't turn and flee   I won't bow the knee   I won't go underground   I won't run and hide   From the rising tide   I won't go underground   I won't compromise   What the world denies   I won't go underground   I am not ashamed    Of the cross I've claimed   I won't go underground   And I won't lay low   As the hatreds grow   I won't go underground   (whoaaa)   I won't go underground   (I won't, I won't)   I won't go underground
