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
cgainst 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
cin'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
