Futbol
Football is not a matter
Of life or death
The shirt on your back
Or the badge on your chest
Million pound contracts
Or zebra striped boots
Model girlfriends
Or photo shoots
It's not about whose going down
Or whose coming up
Trophies, awards
Medals or cups
It's not a personal crusade
Or a quest for glory
It's unique to us all
Our personal story
Football's not about results
But the thrill of the chase
Puts the tears in our eyes
And the smile on our face
Football's about fathers
Bonding with sons
Allows warring soldiers
To lay down their guns
It's the workplace topic
The classroom debate
A sense of identity
The craic with your mates
The innocence of lads
Kicking a ball 'round a park
Football is purity
Beauty
Art
