The Underdog - Spoon

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 hear the 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 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 want to forget how convention fits

but can 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 try but I can’t let go of it

Can’t let go of it,

Cause you don’t talk to the water boy

and there’s so much you could learn but you don’t want to 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 something that you don’t understand,

You got no fear of the underdog,

that’s why you will not survive!
