The Underdogs (Foster Jen)

Second grade, Billy Simms Playing out by the jungle gym All the boys laughed at him For some sort of speech impediment And they knocked him down And I pushed them off And they kicked our asses 'Cause we were the underdogs Seventh grade, Cindy Sloan Eating in the lunchroom all alone They called her strange, but I could see She was just different like me So I asked her over And she blew me off It made perfect sense to me 'Cause we were the underdogs When everyone's above you, there's nowhere you can go When nobody calls you, 'cause it's all in who you know When the self-righteous say they're for you, telling you to win this fight Nobody understands you, no they don't know what it's like Freshman year, Judson Tate He didn't have a Homecoming date He asked me out, we never kissed We told each other our big secret He said he fell for James And James broke his heart And I understood him 'Cause we were the underdogs When everyone's above you, there's nowhere you can go When nobody calls you, 'cause it's all in who you know When the self-righteous say they're for you, telling you to win this fight Nobody understands you, no they don't know what it's like Senior year, Billy Simms
