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
Oh I love to be, I love to be the underdog
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!
The underdog
Hey!
I’m the underdog
Hey!
Early evening, settling down
Father father father, who am I to play?
Oh oh oh oh
Early evening, hush me over
Father father father, are we just the same?
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 sends my mind up
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
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 sends my mind up
I get the short end of it
Oh I love to be, I love to be the underdog
Hey!
The underdog
Hey!
I love to be the underdog
Hey!
The underdog
Hey!
The underdog
Hey!
The underdog
The underdog
Hey!
The song "Underdog" by Imagine Dragons/Musicfire.in is a powerful anthem that celebrates the underdog spirit in all of us. The lyrics speak to the struggles of feeling undervalued or overlooked, but also the sense of pride and power that can come from persevering in the face of adversity. In the first verse, the singer asks to be taken to the top by their father, while acknowledging that it's not enough just to be awake - there's more to achieve. The chorus repeats the phrase "Hey, that sends my mind up, I get the short end of it, oh I love to be, I love to be the underdog," emphasizing the joy and sense of purpose that can come from pushing through challenges.
The second verse continues with the theme of playing a role, questioning who the singer is to be playing it. The pre-chorus and chorus maintain the same themes and structure as the first, leading into the final chorus where the singer celebrates living in the "low life" but loving to be the underdog. The final repetition of "hey, the underdog" is a rallying cry for all those who feel underestimated or dismissed to embrace their power and potential.
