I am so weak and i'm so tired
it's hard for me to
find enough strength to feed the fires
and 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
no where but up
when you're faced down
on the ground
i'm in last place
if a 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
they call me the underdog!

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

*chorus*

been beat up
been broken down
no where but up
when you're faced down
on the ground
i'm in last place
if a 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
that's the way, uh huh we like it
that's the way, uh huh we like it
