The Underdog

Picture yourself in the living room
 Your pipe and slippers set out for you
 I know you think that it ain't too far
 But I
 I hear the call of a lifetime ring
 Felt the need to get up for it
 Oh, you cut out the middleman
 Get free from the middleman
 You got no 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 wanna forget how conviction fits
 Mmm, but can I get out from under it?
 Can I gut it out of me?
 Oh, oh, oh, oh
 It can't all be wedding cake
 It can't all be boiled away
 I try but I can't let go of it
 Can't let go of it, no
 'Cause you don'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
 Oh, 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 something that you don't understand
 You got no fear of the underdog
 That's why you will not survive, right!
