Nellie Mckay - Beneath the Underdog lyrics

Come on, come on, let's try and make it You tell yourself, this time for sure But I would rather sit and crave it I'm not wanted anymore I had a kind of friend in you It wasn't pleasant all the time But though my heart is jaded I think winnin' is overrated Lookin' through frosted windows I envy the soft contented sighs But I don't get people I don't get the things they think are reasonable So you'll find me Here right beneath the underdog When life's impossible Hold tight beneath the underdog That's where I'm comfortable And I know I'm a fool, perhaps I rationalize what I can't have But no, here right beneath the underdog That's where I'd rather be Maybe someday I will see A kind of personality Who makes the world better And when that happens I may find I miss the nervous daily grind It's hard to stand this peace of mind It's truly finer on the outside Ooh, the outside I've conquered mountains, so to speak And looked down from a higher peak But it seems so creepy When it can leave you feelin' sleazy So settin' off from this hill camp I'd rather be her little tramp My own companion Or maybe with one whose tail is waggin' So you'll find us Here right beneath the underdog When life's impossible Hold tight beneath the underdog That's where I'm comfortable And I know I'm a fool, perhaps And rationalize what I can't have But no, here right beneath the underdog That's where I'd rather be I'd rather be I'd rather be
