American Football

lyrics

Why d'you call it football when it isn't?

Cos it's not the same it's not the beautiful game
You're just bangin' your head
In a field in the rain

Why d'you start the season off in the winter?
Cos I'd rather be playing sport in the summer

Game startes after every down
Now you're buddy's got concussion but hey
You're only messing around

Pushing rushing then a lateral pass
Collision sports oh yeah
Now you're down on the grass

You're hitting and gripping and spearing and sparring
Unnecessary roughness and two minute warnings

But why d'you call it football when it isn't?
Why d'you call it football when it isn't?

Now it's sudden death and catastrophic sports
Light beer chips and game reports
Flak jackets short passes drafts in April
It's a war out there are you willing and able
Line backers running backs wide receivers
Tight ends touch downs and bold deceivers

Why d'you call it football when it isn't?
