Underdog Lyrics

Early morning, take me over
Father father father, take me to the top
Oh oh oh oh
Early morning, wake me up
Father father father, this is not enough
Oh oh oh oh

Hey! That sends my mind up
I get the short end of it
Oh I love to be, I love to be the underdog
Hey! That sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh I love to be, I love to be the underdog
Hey!
The underdog
Hey!
I’m the underdog
Hey!

Early evening, settling down
Father father father, who am I to blame?
Oh oh oh oh
Early evening, hush me over
Father father father, are we just the same?
Oh oh oh oh

Hey! That sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh I love to be, I love to be the underdog
Hey! That sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh I love to be, I love to be the underdog
Hey!
The underdog
Hey!
I’m the underdog
Hey!

Living in the low life
Low life
Low life
Living in the low life
Low life
Low life
Living in the low life

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I don't know when/if songmeanings will correct these, so here are the correct lyrics (from the booklet) that I originally submitted and were somehow overwritten:

Early morning take me over Father, father, father Take me to the top Early morning wake me up Father, father, father This is not enough Hey, that sounds like my luck I get the short end of it Oh I love to be I love to be the underdog Hey, that sounds like my luck I get the short end of it Oh I love to be I love to be the underdog Early evening settle down Father, father, father Who am I to blame? Early evening hush me over Father, father, father Are we just the same? Hey, that sounds like my luck I get the short end of it Oh I love to be I love to be the underdog Hey, that sounds like my luck I get the short end of it Oh I love to be I love to be the underdog Living the low life Low life... Living the low life Hey, that sounds like my luck I get the short end of it Oh I love to be I love to be the underdog Hey, that sounds like my luck I get the short end of it Oh I love to be I love to be the underdog
