[Verse 1]
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, oh!

[Chorus]
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!
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!

[Refrain]
The underdog, hey!
The underdog, hey!

[Verse 2]
Early evening, settle 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, oh!

[Chorus]
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!
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!

[Refrain]
The underdog, hey!
The underdog, hey!

[Bridge]
Living the low life
Low life
Low life
Living the low life

(La, la, la-la la) Low life
(La, la, la-la la) Low life
Living the low life...

[Chorus]
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!
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!

[Refrain]
The underdog, hey!
The underdog, hey!

Imagine Dragons

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
