Story Behind The Song
I was watching some kids play kickball at the school where I work and noticed how the "uncool" kids where treated. It reminded me of how it was when I was a kid.
The rest of the lyrics tell the same story of basically every point in my life. From being dumped by a super hot chic who was outta my league in my teen years... To the current state of everybody with "normal" looking down on me for being a musician.
The question is: without people like me what would they listen to while living out their own miserable existence ?

Lyrics
I was always the last kid picked on the playground/Nobody ever wanted me
Too short, too fat & way too slow/They acted like I was a freak/
I am the UNDERDOG/ No one expects much outta me/
Nobody ever gives me a chance/ They just make fun of me
I never was to good with the ladies/I never knew what to do or say
Sweaty palms a jacked up grill and messed up hair/ They acted like I was a creep
I am the UNDERDOG/ No one expects much outta me/
Nobody ever gives me a chance/ They just make fun of me
I've never been too much of anything/Not much to show for my life/
The more I live the more I try the more I fail/ I guess life SUCKS then you die
I am the UNDERDOG/ No one expects much outta me/
Nobody ever gives me a chance/ They just make fun of me
They just make fun of me/ Go ahead make of me
But boys don't cry and quitters never win
