The Underdog歌詞

The Underdog - Spoon
Written by：Britt Daniel
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 about something that you don't understand
You got no fear of the underdog
That's why you will not survive
