Nellie McKay - Beneath The Underdog

Come on, come on, let's try and make itYou tell yourself, this time for sureBut I would rather sit and crave itI'm not wanted anymoreI had a kind of friend in youIt wasn't pleasant all the timeBut though my heart is jadedI think winnin' is overratedLookin' through frosted windowsI envy the soft contented sighsBut I don't get peopleI don't get the things they think are reasonableSo you'll find meHere right beneath the underdogWhen life's impossibleHold tight beneath the underdogThat's where I'm comfortableAnd I know I'm a fool, perhapsI rationalize what I can't haveBut no, here right beneath the underdogThat's where I'd rather beMaybe someday I will seeA kind of personalityWho makes the world betterAnd when that happens I may findI miss the nervous daily grindIt's hard to stand this peace of mindIt's truly finer on the outsideOoh, the outsideI've conquered mountains, so to speakAnd looked down from a higher peakBut it seems so creepyWhen it can leave you feelin' sleazySo settin' off from this hill campI'd rather be her little trampMy own companionOr maybe with one whose tail is waggin'So you'll find usHere right beneath the underdogWhen life's impossibleHold tight beneath the underdogThat's where I'm comfortableAnd I know I'm a fool, perhapsAnd rationalize what I can't haveBut no, here right beneath the underdogThat's where I'd rather beI'd rather beI'd rather be
