the underdog

Picture yourself in the living room
Your pipe and slippers set out for you
I know you think that it aint too far
But 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 dont understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
Thats why you will not survive!
I want to forget how conviction fits
But can I get out from under it?
Can I gut it out of me?
It cant all be wedding cake
It cant all be boiled away
I try but I cant let go of it
Cant let go of it,
Cause you dont talk to the water boy
And theres so much you could learn but you dont want to know,
You will not back up an inch ever,
Thats 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 wont hear from the messenger,
Dont wanna know bout something that you dont understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
Thats why you will not survive! (Hey!)
