lyrics

I would not worship sport
They threw their chains around me
Made me take rugby vows
And swear an oath on tennis court

I would not worship sport
They would hear no good of me
I had condemned my soul
Because I could not bat or bowl

With the legend of laziness dogging his days
He was every school’s dream of a kid to haze
Made him swim in the mud and they pissed on his books
Just something ‘bout the way he looks

But I’ve seen cricketers
And they were thwarted in their prime
Their passion came to naught
Led to believe that sport was crime

By wives who did not worship sport
And only worshipped money
And now they’ve all lost out
I will not watch the news report

Cause the newsreader beat up my friends after class
And the local MP used to kick my ass
In the midst of the scrum at the school of hard knocks
They learnt to think outside the box
