Picture yourself in the living room
G5
your pipe and slippers set out for you
B5
I know you think that it ain't too far
E5 C5
But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
C- D- G5
felt the need to get up for it
A5
Oh, you cut out the middleman
B5
get free from the middleman
C5 G5
You got no time for the messenger,
C5 D5 G5
got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
C5 B5
you got no fear of the underdog,
D5
that's why you will not survive

E5 C5
I want to forget how conviction fits
D5 G5
but can I get out from under it?
B5
Can I gut it out of me?
C5 G5
It can't all be wedding cake
A5
It can't all be boiled away
B5
I try but I can't let go of it
B5
I can't let go of it,
C5 G5
'Cause you don't talk to the water boy
C5 D5 G5
and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,
C5 B5
You will not back up an inch ever,
D5
that's why you will not survive,

The thing that I tell you now
D5 G5 G5 - D5
It may not go over well
E5 A5
And it may not be photo-op
D5 G5 G5 - D5
in the way that I spell it out
C5 B5
But you won't hear from the messenger,
C5 B5 G5 D5
C5
don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand,
B5
You got no fear of the underdog,
