Premium Member The Replacements

If you like Keanu, you’ll love The Replacements
‘bout an ex-football player who's into effacement.
Called back to the big time when A-listers strike,
it’s got some great scenes that I know you will like.
I won’t spoil the story, but the cheerleading’s hot;
QB Falco’s the real deal,  and Martel is not. 
Wiry Nigel the kicker will have you enthralled,
as will Bateman when coach says, “Go get me the ball!
There isn’t much action if you hoped for a gun,
just some hard-hitting football and 2 hours of fun.

Dead For Martel

I want to close the door so i can leave you behind
But first give me a pen so my will can be signed
because of the pain you put my through I should have had it aimed at you
but instead to my head is this gun 
and before I can think BANG you pull the trigger now you better runiind close that 
door but dont forget to lock it and dont throw away the key or but it in your pocket 
because if I find that key I'm going to unlock that door and you wont have sweet 
dreams anymore
you know they say sleep is the cousin of death I'm going to have waking up in 
cold sweats all out of breath 
So you better hope that bullet killed me and I'm dead
beacuse in your nightmares thats me standing above your bed
I'm going to drive you insane 
and before you know it the cold steel going to be put to your membrane
And right when you about to push the gun from your head BANG
I pull the trigger and now your dead
