You're up on the scoreboard But the audience is sick of this collateral damage And this game's been going on for far too long And the audience is sick of the same old song We don't need a coach to recognize what matters most And we don't need a book of plays to construct security And everyone's a thief these days Just trying to find the next move that pays But not you and me We refuse to play We both have beating hearts underneath our skin So let the games begin And hopefully we can build shelter from the storm Before they go for the win We don't need a coach to recognize what matters most to us And we don't need a book of plays to construct security We've got a voice and a brain And we've got two feet planted firm inside of this city And everyone's a thief these days Just trying to find the next move that pays But not you and me We refuse to play We both have beating hearts underneath our skin So let the games begin And hopefully we can build shelter from the storm Before they go for the win Before they go for the win We don't need a coach to recognize what matters most to us And we don't need a book of plays to construct security
