B-Side - Underdogs
Lyrics

Look at us we’re underdogs

Dark horse is our aim

People think our minds are gone

But we don’t care; we’ll prove them wrong

So don’t show us what to do

Don’t keep us under wraps

We’re looking to the future now

We’ve got our own destiny roadmaps

-

YOU CAN’T KEEP GOOD UNDERDOGS DOWN

WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, IF YOU STICK AROUND

NO YOU CAN’T KEEP GOOD UNDERDOGS DOWN

WE’RE NOT WHAT YOU THINK, IGNORE THE CIRCLING HOUNDS

-

Look at us we’re underdogs

Dark horse is our aim

Not trying to be what we’re not

And leach ourselves away

Waiting for our moment now

We might get only one

We’re here for a chance to show

Just how far we’ve come

-

YOU CAN’T KEEP GOOD UNDERDOGS DOWN

WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, IF YOU STICK AROUND

NO YOU CAN’T KEEP GOOD UNDERDOGS DOWN

WE’RE NOT WHAT YOU THINK, IGNORE THE CIRCLING HOUNDS

-

And every underdog has his day

We didn’t think it would be this way

Now it seems we’re here to stay

And we admit, we can’t complain

-

YOU CAN’T KEEP GOOD UNDERDOGS DOWN

WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, IF YOU STICK AROUND

NO YOU CAN’T KEEP GOOD UNDERDOGS DOWN

WE’RE NOT WHAT YOU THINK, IGNORE THE CIRCLING HOUNDS

Underdogs is a hypothetical song. When I first started writing songs, I wanted to call my (non-existent) band 'Underdogs'.

Based on this name, I decided to write about the road to musical glory and the way the critics can get on your case if you're anything less than their idea of perfect.

I don't know if I still want to call my non-existent band Underdogs, but I think the song still works due to the nature of the word itself.
