i am so weak and i'm so tired
it's hard for me to
find enought strength to
feed the fires
that fuel my ego
and consequently all my pride
has all but died
which leaves me
down on my knees
back to the place i
should've started from

*chorus*

been beat up
been broken down
nowher but up
when you're faced down
on the ground
i'm in last place
if i place at all
but there's hope for this underdog!
that's the way uh huh we like it
that's the way uh huh we like it
you can call me the underdog!

i'm in this race to win a prize
the odds against me
the world has plans for my demise
what they don't see is
that the winner is not judge
by his small size
but by the
substitute he picks to
run the race
and mine's already won

chorus (x2)
