THE UNDERDOG Picture yourself in a living room Your pipe and slippers set out for you I know you think that it ain’t too far But I hear a call of a lifetime ring Felt the need to get up for it And cut out the middle man Get free from the middle man
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 convention fits But can I get out from under it Can I cut 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, nuh uh
Cause you don’t talk to the waterboy 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 YEAH
The thing that I tell you now It may not go over well It may not be photo op 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 Right!
