lyrics

And was it hard when you were young
To know the truth but hold your tongue
'Cause when they tell you to forget
The more you think about it
Every night and every day
The underdog is never far away
Never far away

But when the fear had left its mark
And all the light was shining dark
You found a match and lit the spark
You saw a lot beside you
Every night and every day
The underdog is never far away
Never far away

Only when you say
That your hope's away
That the underdog's at play

But when your orchestra's in tune
And there's a fever in the room
And there's a sax that's in the back
That's oh-so-syncopated
Every night and every day
The underdog is never far away
Never far away

Only when you say
That your hope's away
That the underdog's at play

'Cause last time
I had seen a fool for love
Go flying through a brick wall made of glass
But this time
There was no one there but me
And I remained a fool until the last
Crash of shattered glass

But is it wrong if you are told
That there's no man can live on Gold
See, I've been doing it for years
But it can be expensive
Every night and every day
The underdog is never far away
Never far away

Only when you say
That your hope's away
Only when you know
That it's time to go
That the underdog will show
