Raider Nation
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.
The autumn wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea with a
Rollicking song he sweeps along swaggering boisterously
The autumn wind is a raider, pillaging just for fun
He'll knock you 'round and upside down
And laugh when he's conquered and won. (laugh)
Raider nation les go les go
Raider nation les go les go
Raider nation, are you ready for some football?
You aint ready for the football!
You aint ready for them oakland raiders, its the invasion of them oakland raiders
Are you ready for this football, you aint ready for this football. (ahhh)
Here we come baby, just win baby
Feel the storm of the cold autumn wind baby
Its the oakland raiders get cha mouthpiece
You in tha black hole with tha black beast
The same black gold, this is black silver
Commit-ment to excellence we deliver
And we'll play past regulation
Its the invasion of the raider nation
Raider nation les go les go
Raider nation les go les go
Raider nation, are you ready for some football?
You aint ready for the football!
You aint ready for them oakland raiders, its the invasion of them oakland raiders
Are you ready for this football, you aint ready for this football (ah)
The raider nation is united, when they see them pirates the fans get excited
The opposition get cryin'
When I hit tha field with my eye patch and my shield
The silver & black will attack
(Are you ready for some football)
The silver & black will attack
(Are you ready for some football)
Raider nation les go les go
Raider nation les go les go
Raider nation les go les go
Raider nation les go les go
Raider nation we are we are
Raider nation we are we are
Raider nation we are we are
Raider nation we are we are
Raider nation
Just win baby, just win baby
Just win baby, just win baby
Just win baby, just win baby
Just win baby, just win baby
