Its like an August afternoon The calm before the chaos comes A rumble in the distance Well before the clouds appear It's what everybody's talkin' 'bout Can't wait to see 'em storming out And thundering across the fields It's almost electric You can feel it in the air down here Let's play some football boys Let's play some football boys There's a pounding in our chests And a bad blood pumping through our veins Old wounds are feeling fresh Aching just enough to make us mean The grudge we volunteer to hold Is icy hot and fiery cold And we'll carry it as long as we can breathe It hurts us and it heals us It's a friend and its the enemy Let's play some football boys Let's play some football boys This ain't a practice anymore Lets get to settling the score Let's play some football boys Turn your amplifier on, crank it all the way to ten Make 'em dread the day they've gotta come play us again It ain't life or death. It ain't marching into war. But you'd better get the metaphor Lets play some football boys Let's play some football boys Let's play some football boys This ain't a practice anymore Lets get to settling the score Let's play some football boys This ain't a practice anymore Lets get to settling the score Let's play some football boys
