Expendable You Lyrics
They don't recognize talent
When they see it
They wouldn't recognize talent
If it struck them in the solar plexus
Bold-faced, capitalized
They couldn't read talent
If it appeared in a sentence
Go about your business for dignity
Punctuality, enthusiasm, and pride
That underlying expendability
Is waiting patiently just outside
They don't know a good man
When they have one
They wouldn't know a good man
From a herd of others
Italicized and underlined
They couldn't see a good man
In highlighted colors
Say what you will about dependability
Perseverance can get you places for sure
That underlying expendability
Only gets you as far as the revolving door
When they see it
They wouldn't recognize talent
If it struck them in the solar plexus
They couldn't read talent
If it appeared in a sentence
Punctuality, enthusiasm, and pride
That underlying expendability
Is waiting patiently just outside
When they have one
They wouldn't know a good man
From a herd of others
They couldn't see a good man
In highlighted colors
Perseverance can get you places for sure
That underlying expendability
Only gets you as far as the revolving door
