The thing that I tell you now
Got no regard for the thing
And there's so much you could learn

You got no fear of the underdog
Can't let go of it
But can I get out from under it?
Felt the need to get up for it
It can't all be boiled away
That's why you will not survive
You got no fear of the underdog
That's why you will not survive
Oh, and it may not be photo op

Get free from the middleman
That you don't understand
It may not go over well
But you won't hear from the messenger

Don't wanna know about something
I wanna forget how conviction fits
It can't all be wedding cake
That's why you will not survive

That you don't understand
In the way that I spell it out
I know you think that it ain't too far

But you don't want to know
You will not back up an inch ever
I try but I can't let go of it
Oh, you cut out the middleman

Can I cut it out of me?
'Cause you don't talk to the water boy
You got no time for the messenger
But I, I hear the call of a lifetime ring
