Beneath The Underdog Lyrics - Home Sweet Mobile Home - Nellie Mckay

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 

Photos 

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
