One Nation Underground is the debut album by American psychedelic folk group Pearls Before Swine. It was released on the ESP-Disk label in July 1967.

The album became the most successful ESP release ever, estimated to have sold between 100,000 and 250,000 copies. Early vinyl copies came with a small poster of the Hell panel from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, a detail of which was used on the front of the album sleeve.

Mostrando un poco la lingua
Al prete che dà l'ostia
Ci si sente in paradiso
Cantando dei salmi un poco stonati"

Che lingua parla l'agnello che oggi morirà
E chi lo benedirà"
