We Are Underused - Pavement

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.)
