Lyrics We Are Underused - Pavement

We Are Underused

Out beyond the call of duty --
Hold your instincts hostage and stick near me Lets drink a toast -- it’s the most I can stand to cry about
The mental energy you wasted on this wedding invitation
Lets thank the host -- youve been such a perfect 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
Lets drink a toast to all those who arrived alive to tell
About their struggles in hushed tones around a fire
Its late winter -- lets 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, under, underused!
(we are underused.)
We are under, under, under, under, underused!
(we are underused.)
