Lyrics
I Don't Want To Play Football
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't want to play football
I don't understand the thrill of the game
I don't want to play football
I don't understand the thrill of running, catching, throwing
Taking orders from a moron
Grabbing for the sweaty crotches
Getting hit by people I don't know
Sugar, I'd rather play a different sort of game
Sugar, the girls are just as good as boys at playing
