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 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 want to forget how conviction 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! (Hey!)
