Down the road, there's a hard-working dad

Rolling eighteen wheels burning daylight and gasoline

Downtown there's a lonely little girl

Who's never seen herself on the cover of a magazine

Don't got much, but to keep on swinging

Against all odds 'til the bell starts ringing

Stand up, we gonna shock the world

To all the lovers, the fighters, the sinners, the beggars

This is for the underdog

To all the boys and the girls

The freaks of the world

Who never thought of giving up

To all the buyers and the liars in the three piece suits

It ain't got nothing on us

From the east to the west

The worst to the best

This is for the

Oh, this is for the underdog

Yeah, this is for the underdog

Edge of town, there's a skinny little kid

Heart of gold, but the coach says he'll never make the big leagues

Onstage, there's a four-piece band playing classic rock covers

Ain't a single person listening

They try to tell you that you're never gonna make it

Yea, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to take it

Don't back down, we gonna shock the world, we gonna shock the world

To all the lovers, the fighters, the sinners, the beggars

This is for the underdog

To all the boys and the girls

The freaks of the world

Who never thought of giving up

To all the buyers and the liars in the three piece suits

It ain't got nothing on us

From the east to the west

The worst to the best

This is for the

Oh, this is for the underdog

Yeah, this is for the

Oh, this is for the underdog

We gonna shock the world

You gotta shock the world

We gonna shock the world

So go and shock the world

To all the lovers, the fighters, the sinners, the beggars

This is for the underdog

To all the boys and the girls

The freaks of the world

Who never thought of giving up

To all the buyers and the liars in the three piece suits

It ain't got nothing on us

From the east to the west

The worst to the best

This is for the

Oh, this is for the underdog

Yeah, this is for the

Oh, this is for the underdog

This is for the

Oh, this is for the underdog

Yeah, we gonna shock the world

You gotta shock the world

So go and shock the world, yeah, yeah

This is for the underdog

This is for everyone that's ever been told:

"You're too big", "You're too small"

"You ain't smart enough", "You ain't good enough"

Well, you look them straight in the eye and you keep on walking
