Em C
Picture yourself in the living room
G
your pipe and slippers set out for you
Bm
I know you think that it ain`t too far
Em
But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
C
felt the need to get up for it
G
oh you cut out the middleman
D Em
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!)
