Sports

Sports is such a crazy mess
All that wasted time watching your team
But if they win you’ll feel your best
It's crazy how it can affect your scheme

Maybe four hours watching the set
at the game, in the arena, in the stands
And all these crazies are willing to bet
Their team will win so strike up the band

I don’t know why we scream and yell
Over effortless athletic moves
Do you think these guys would ring the bell
For fans eating hotdogs and drinking booze

With all the money these players get
To work four months a year
And everyone just spends and frets
Hey vendor “I’ll have a beer”

Sports is such a crazy mess but I like it anyway
Especially when we get a little older
Its easier to watch then play
