Overview

"Underclass Hero" was written by Deryck Whibley as a theme of "us against them," similar to their previous lyrics. Although "Underclass Hero" is written from a different angle, as the song refers prominently to society and the struggle of "high-class versus the underclass" instead of "youth against adults" as in "All Killer No Filler". The song also features the more classic punk-rock themes of anti-establishment. This is the theme song for MTV's Crash My School.
