Bite Of The Underdog © Copyright George Papavgeris, March 2004 Beware of the bite of the underdog His teeth are rotten, but more dangerous for that Beware of the bite of the underdog When he gets loose, you better hold on to your hat Too late then to calm him or placate him Or try to feed him when already he's fed up. For life my friend can be very capricious And the bite of the underdog is vicious So the time will come around when your defences will be down And that's the day when you'll find against your wishes A vicious underdog is sitting on your lap. As far back as history is recorded The wheels of industry are greased with blood and sweat We have our dream but most cannot afford it If there's a trick to this, we haven't found it yet. You raise our hopes and raise our expectations That each and everyone can make it to the top but greed and cost of living and inflation ensure that we will have to work until we drop. But beware of the bite of the underdog.. etc And when the time comes for sacrifices The people at the top are never for the chop Though often they're the ones that caused the crisis, They're not the ones to go to war or lose their job. And each campain and every downsizing Is fed by innocents because they can be spared While those to blame just stand there eulogising And of the glory they will take the lion's share. But beware of the bite of the underdog... etc |
