Lyrics for We Are Underused
Out beyond the call of duty Hold your instincts hostage and stick near me Let's drink a toast It's the most I can stand to cry About the mental energy you wasted on this wedding invitation Let's thank the host You've been such a great host The roast was just so perfectly prepared Now I know you care Now I know you care We are underused We are underused Simply put, I want to grow old Dying does not meet my expectations Let's drink a toast to all those who arrived alive To tell about their struggles in hushed tones around a fire It's late winter Let's sink the ship Mix our blood, just the tip A Crip is sleeping on the basement stairs Oh, I know he's there Oh, I know he's there We are underused We are underused, yeah We are underused We are underused We are underused We are underused We are under, under, under, underused We are under, under, under, underused
