SIX FEET UNDER
(G. Stefani, T. Kanal)
from the album Return of Saturn


First performed on No Doubt's clubtour in 1999.


In the morning I wake up
And in the night I sleep
Since the day I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent? Not at all?
Will I ever know?

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground

Subconsciously motivated  natural instinct 
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conceptions
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control 

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground

Spinning, spinning
Before I can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generations
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Give birth to my own daughter

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground

Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And someday...
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground
