Pick a team from the local to the ten counties away Inherited from your father or defiant like no other Typical football fan that likes a bit of banter No way I’ll be the same as my brother Be it a County or a Town, there will always be days where you’ll have to frown From striker to the keeper, mistakes are made where someone acted the clown But when Saturday comes that will all be forgotten Hat-trick from the Spaniard you’re once again smitten The rivalries increase from City to United Yours will always be the best team well that’s what your dad said From the Celtic to the Rangers down to the Arsenals and the Hotspurs Trouble has brewed for years without a kick-start or a stir And then the billionaires stepped in and made it a business Money to be made from the working class through to the Stubhub ticket The tout on the street is an illegal source of income Whack on a tax and the Governments blind eye is now looking handsome So how far can this escalate with wages and ticket price entry The first player worth a billion is only a few years away Stadiums that hold a capacity where nobody can actually see You think I’m making a joke, it’s all on the horizon believe me, It’s a way of life, Football JJB
