Verse 1:
[Em] Picture yourself in the [Am]living room
your pipe and slippers set [G]out for you
I know you think that it [Bm]ain't too far
[Em] But I hear the call of a l[C]lifetime ring
felt the [C]need [D]to get [G]up for it
Oh, you cut out the [Am]middleman
get [Bm]free from the middleman
[C] You got no time for the [G]messenger,
[C] got no regard for the [D]thing that you [G]don't understand,
[C] you got no fear of the [Bm]underdog,
[D] that's why you will not survive
Verse 2:
[Em] I want to forget how con[C]conviction fits
but can I [D]get out from [G]under it?
Can I gut it [Bm]out of me?
[C] It can't all be [G]wedding cake
It can't all be [Am]boiled away
I try but I can't let [Bm]go of it
I [B]can't let go of it,
[C] 'Cause you don't talk to the [G]water boy
[C] and there's so much you could
[D]learn but you [G]don't want to know,
[C] You will not back up an [Bm]inch ever,
[D] that's why you will not survive
Verse 3:
[Em] The thing that I [Am]tell you now
[D]It may not go [G]over well [G] [D]
[Em]And it may not be [Am]photo op
[D]in the way that I [G]spell it out [G] [D]
[C] But you won't hear from the [Bm]messenger,
[C] [Bm] [G] [D] [C]
don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand,
You got no fear of the [Bm]underdog,
[D] that's why you will not survive
