We Are Underused Lyrics - Brighten The Corners - Pavement

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 underused 

(We are under, under, under, underused) 

We are underused
