My best friend is a musician and we put our heads together this afternoon to try to come up with something. This is attempt number 4.
“Out in the field, lights are shining bright,
Game's on the line, and the tension's tight,
Fans are roaring, but something's not right,
Refs on the field, man, they're blind as a kite.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yellow flags, they’re flying,
Calls so wild, they’re defying,
Our game plan’s slowly dying,
Oh, oh, oh, no denying!
(Chorus)
Ref's got it out for the Gamecocks tonight,
Every call, it’s like they’re starting a fight,
In the spotlight, it’s a biased show,
We’re feeling the sting of every bad call they throw.
Verse 2)
Down by a field goal, we’re so close to win,
But the ref’s eyes? They’re set on a sin,
Every replay, it’s a new kind of spin,
Oh, South Carolina, where do we begin?
(Pre-Chorus)
Yellow flags, they’re flying,
Calls so wild, they’re defying,
Our game plan’s slowly dying,
Oh, oh, oh, no denying!
(Chorus)
Ref's got it out for the Gamecocks tonight,
Every call, it’s like they’re starting a fight,
In the spotlight, it’s a biased show,
We’re feeling the sting of every bad call they throw.
(Bridge)
We’re fighting the field, and we’re fighting the calls,
Every bad decision, yeah, it stings and it mauls,
But we won’t back down, we’re standing 3 feet tall,
South Carolina, we’ll give it our all!
(Chorus)
Ref's got it out for the Gamecocks tonight,
Every call, it’s like they’re starting a fight,
In the spotlight, it’s a biased show,
We’re feeling the sting of every bad call they throw.
Refs, oh refs, can’t you see the light?
We’re rising up, we’re ready to fight,
In every call, we’ll find our might,
South Carolina, we’re shining so bright!”
Probably too wordy and too long but hey we were bored.
