I eventually persuaded Dad
he should stop taking me to the match
Yes, 1984 was the year
and on the stands, they were still drinking beer
And I was 13 years old at the time
A funny little thought came into my mind
If there were three teams in this game
then it would be less lame<\/p>\n
MI5 put me on the list
of budding teenage anarchists
because I always asked questions
about the value of competition
And so that very evening, I
looked my dad right in the eye
Said, Dad, a winner there will be
but I don\u2019t care which team<\/p>\n
Football\u2019s a beautiful game
I\u2019m sure, if you like that sort of thing
The trouble is: I just don\u2019t care which team wins<\/p>\n
Fascism is a funny thing
It crops up where you most expect it
But don\u2019t forget it gets the red card
from 99% of the crowd
So I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s just a big herd
Some of the songs have got great words
But some of the things I hear them sing
Well, it don\u2019t make me grin<\/p>\n
Football\u2019s a beautiful game
I usually like it when they sing
The trouble is: I just don\u2019t care which team wins<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
