John Reuben - Cool The Underdog lyrics

Expecting an epic ending Most underdogs wind up not winning Believe anything in the midst of the moment Selfish motives looked heroic I speak vaguely to keep significance Because it's bigger than specifics Man doesn't want Heaven or Hell All he wants is to live for himself Unhealthy false sense of self worth and entitlement Change as quick as status permits No matter where you end up you won't be content Blame your surroundings Blamed your surroundings Because it was easy An underdog instinctively greedy and if you ever succeed You'll be equally needy The thrill of proving the world wrong is finally gone You should move on The thrill of proving the world wrong is finally gone You could move on Celebrate and exaggerate the story What happens when it ends up not working No rags to riches no fame or glory I speak on behalf of the silent majority Hard working with a pocket full of earnings That don't amount to much Keep your head up If success is just a fool's luck we're stuck But even the successful don't get what they want The thrill of proving the world wrong is finally gone You should move The thrill is finally gone You could move on According to the earth's standards Some of us are more important than others Hey I guess life really isn't fair And sometimes clichés are what you need to hear But you were busy hiding behind sarcasm politics and fashion A little too late to make a statement Because you couldn't figure out the way to make it I hate to interrupt your fantasy but that chip on your shoulder is self pity Self awareness became unhealthy close your eyes and enjoy the scenery If genius can't change the world he might as well leave it If genius can't change the world he might as well critique it
