[Chorus]
Nothing left within
I've been mined
To hell and back again
Subterranean
I've been digging in
Down inside
I will start again
Subterranean

[Post-Chorus]
But the truth is so unkind
What do you know
How low the sky?
Yeah the truth is so unkind
What do you know
How low the sky?

[Verse 1]
You might think you know me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't

[Verse 2]
And you might think you own me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't

[Pre-Chorus]
Bury my heart
Can I go this alone?
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Poison the sound, God in the stone
Oh no, oh no, you don't

[Chorus]
Nothing left within
I've been mined
To hell and back again
Subterranean
I've been digging in
Down inside
I will start again
Subterranean

[Post-Chorus]
But the truth is so unkind
What do you know
How low the sky?

[Verse 2]
And you might think you own me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't

[Verse 3]
And I might think you love me
But I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't

[Pre-Chorus]
Bring all your lies, leave them deep in the dirt
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Pull down my eyes, lay me deep in the earth
Oh no, oh no, you don't

[Chorus]
Nothing left within
I've been mined
To hell and back again
Subterranean
I've been digging in
Down inside
I will start again
Subterranean

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
