the underdog

Spoon

Picture yourself in the living room
your pipe and slippers set out for you
I know you think that it ainââ?¬â?¢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 donââ?¬â?¢t understand,
you got no fear of the underdog,
thatââ?¬â?¢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 canââ?¬â?¢t all be wedding cake
It canââ?¬â?¢t all be boiled away
I try but I canââ?¬â?¢t let go of it
Canââ?¬â?¢t let go of it,

Cause you donââ?¬â?¢t talk to the water boy
and thereââ?¬â?¢s so much you could learn but you donââ?¬â?¢t want to know,
You will not back up an inch ever,
thatââ?¬â?¢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 wonââ?¬â?¢t hear from the messenger,
donââ?¬â?¢t wanna know bout something that you donââ?¬â?¢t understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
thatââ?¬â?¢s why you will not survive!
