CHAMPION THE UNDERDOG

Because as a nation, the British celebrate our glorious underachievers. We don't know why, but we can't help it. People in the UK like a winner, but they love a tryer, especially if that tryer is really... trying (in both senses of the word).

The rich, the poor, the self-assured.
The young, the old, the warm and the cold.
Users, boozers, smokers and tee-totallers.
North, South, East, West - this is the place I like the best.

We don't stop trying until we're dying. And we've got a message for you.

We are the population, we are the peasant kings.
We try and we don't always fly.
Champion the underdog.
We are the nothing family, but I love my folks.
We try, we might just get through.
Champion the underdog.

Here's the heroes that we're used to, Basil Fawlty and Monty Brewster.
John Peel, Jilted John, Joan Jett, John Lennon.
M.E.S., Easy-E, Joey, Johnny, Dee, Tommy.
Bruno, Frank and Edwards, Ed and Dibnah, Fred.

Don't stop believing, until we're leaving, I've got a message for you.

We are the population, we are the peasant kings.
We try and we don't always fly.
Champion the underdog.
We are the nothing family, but I love my folks.
We try, we might just get through.
Champion the underdog.
