Single Sport

I'm a bit under pressure

feel the heat, feel the steam

the times are gettin' heavy

and their gettin' very lean.

What was once a team game

is a single sport now

and I wonder how to make it

got to make it somehow.

But I gotta say its lonely

gotta play all by myself

so I pick up the ball

and I put it on the shelf.

And I sit in the silence

once I heard you, heard your voice

but I won't be defeated

by your stupid fuckin' choice.

Though these times they really hurt

I won't fib, I won't lie

ain't no worse than I been through

I will do, or I will die.

So in the silence of the evenings

in my head the game is played

and I go on undefeated

cause in my heart I have prayed.
