The Ghost of Vince Lombardi

Blow the whistle!
Storm the field!
Kids rewarded for being mean
Make 'em hurt, make 'em pay
Is the right way to succeed

The ghost of Vince Lombardi
embedded in your brain
"Winning isn't everything,
it's the only thing."

The ghost of Vince Lombardi
says be competitive,
or you're a loser

Bullying
About time
Dragged into the open and stopped
Words are nice
Don't hold your breath
Bullies are what business wants

The ghost of Vince Lombardi
where dirty tricks are cool
Someone's gotta win,
and someone's gotta lose

The ghost of Vince Lombardi
rules the marketplace
He who dies with the most toys wins

GO!

This is why this country
has no soul,
has no sense
of community

Every spring, hoards of kids
mass for Easter egg hunts
Greedy parents jump the gun
and get into a great big fight

Punch the umpire
Storm the ice
Lynch the referee
Little kids yell, "Wait,
You said this is just a game!"

The ghost of Vince Lombardi
that tapeworm in our heads
Sinister religion
is pulling all the strings

The ghost of Vince Lombardi
gets drilled into our kids
More damage from this
than games on TV

The Ghost of Vince Lombardi
When will we ever learn
Winning at all cost is poison

There is more to life
than victory
