Lyrics (Spoiler!):
- Spoiler:
- Your sports team is vastly inferior
That simple fact is plainly obvious to see
We’re gonna kick your collective posterior
Of course you realize we’re speaking, figuratively
Our stats are thoroughly impressive,
Our coach really has the Midas touch,
Our players are fast and strong and brave
And your guys, (Eh!), not so much.
In fact we’ve played teams across the nation
And you’re the worst one we’ve come across
Try to assimilate that information
And it just might help you cope with your impending loss
Oh, and if somehow we are still failing, to affectively articulate the points at hand.
Allow us now summarize them in a manner that your feeble brains can understand.
We’re great (we’re great)
And you suck (you suck)
We’re great (we’re great)
And you suck (you suck)
We’re great (we’re great)
And you suck (you suck)
You see there’s us (we’re great)
And then there’s you (you suck)
We’re really, really great (really great)
In contrast, you really suck (really suck)
Okay, full disclosure, we’re not that great
But nevertheless, you suck.
[Drum Solo]
Your sports team will soon suffer swift defeat
That theory’s back by empirical evidence
We’re gonna grind up your guys into burger meat
Of course we’re speaking in the, figurative sense
What’s the use of even going through the motions,
When you know that you’re gonna anyhow
So why don’t you save us all some time,
And give up now (you suck!)
Let me know how I can improve these!

Really enjoyed this song. My only critique is that the

- We’re great and you suck
bit went on a bit too long.

- I've never been interested in sports much (except hockey), so I've never understood the obsession Americans have with sports, especially football. Their irrational devotion to a team that just happens to be situated in the city in which they live is really bizarre to me. The whole "we're great and you suck" bit nails this mentality perfectly, and can be applied to just about any city or college that has a big football team.

I think you're missing some crucial elements of fandom. As far as pro sports go, in a way, I agree with you. It's a little more chance than anything else that you live in the city that team is in BUT the team also represents the city (and in some cases, a state or multi-state region) and there is some valid connective pride and passion that comes with that. Also, fans support the team monetarily, so there's that.
In the case of college sports however, I think there is a much deeper connection between the team and the fans. While in some cases you do have fans who are just what many call "t-shirt fans" who didn't attend the school (and who I would consider the same as a pro sports fan), there are also those who did. These fans spent some pretty important years of their lives at the school, transitioning from child to adult and often discovering a lot about themselves in the process. During that time, the players for the sports team were doing the exact same thing and it's not that uncommon to cross paths with them in daily college life. There is an enormous personal connection to these institutions and everything about them that cannot really be adequately explained to anyone who hasn't experienced it. That's where the passion for college sports comes from. I mean, my wife and I will literally cheer for anyone and anything connected to Ohio State, be it one of the school's sports teams (or individual athletes) or an alum on Jeopardy! It's simply a part of us.
Sorry to be long-winded on that. By the way, I LOVE this song.

- To me it's a generic reduction of every college fight song, similar to Da Vinci's Notebook's "Title of the Song," a brilliant schematic of formulaic boy band songs.

This song is going to be used by sports fans in some amazing YouTube videos, and I can't wait.

People who like this song are great and people who don't SUCK!
This was by far the song that made me laugh out loud the most.
