[Verse 1]
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, I hear the call of a lifetime ring
Felt the need to get up for it
And get free from the middleman
Break from the middleman
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I want to forget how convention fits
But can I get out from under it?
Can I cut it out of me? Oh, oh, oh
It can't all be wedding cake
Can't all be boiled away
I try but I can't let go of it
Let go of it, no
[Chorus 2]
Will you go 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
[Verse 3]
The way that I want you now
It may not go over well
Oh, it may not be photo-op
When I make love to the wedding cake
[Chorus 3]
'Cause 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
