The Underdog

[starvedart]

Picture yourself in a living room,
your pipe and slippers set out for you.

I know that you think that ain't too far.
But I, I hear a call of a lifetime ring.

Felt the need to get up for it
and cut out the middleman.
Get free from the middleman.

You got on time for the messenger,
got no regard for the thing that you don't understand.
You got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive!

I want to forget how conviction fits
oh, but could I get out from under it?
Can I gut it out of me?

It can't all be wedding cake.
It can't all be boiled away.
I tried, but I can't let go of it.
Can't let go of it.

You shouldn't talk to the water, boy
and there's so much you could learn but you don't wanna know.

You will not back up an inch ever,
that's why you will not survive!

The thing that I tell you now
It may not go over well
And it may not be photo-op
in the way that I spell it out

But you won't hear from the messenger,
don't wanna know 'bout some thing that you don't understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive!
