From the recording Underground Underdog
A song partly inspired by Jimmy McGill, the main character in the TV series "Better Call Saul".
The lyrics portray the story of an outsider and their journey of self-discovery.
Lyrics
People often think
That I'm a phony freak.
Well, I just wanna live
Before I make my mind up.
Everywhere I go
I feel the pressure's on.
Do these people really know
How tough is it to live it up?
And as I see my own reflection
It gets clear as hell that I'm
an underdog in the underground.
And since I was a kid
I've felt a little weird.
Well, I don't wanna live
Feeling always tied up.
With every step I'd take
People used to say:
"Jimmy look right, Jimmy look left,
Jimmy, think about fair."
And as I saw my own reflection
It got clear a hell I was
an underdog in the underground.
I tried to fit in,
I tried to win.
I tried to let them in,
I tried to stick
to their rules.
But their rules they ain't for me.
And since I was a kid
I've known their rules don't fit
My peculiar way to be
Hopelessly fun and free.
I still see my own reflection
And I'm proud as hell that I'm
an underdog in the underground.
