In reply to the discussion: What is Your Favorite Protest Song? Old and New? [View all]Mister Ed
(5,932 posts)45. Sons of the Revolution, by Tonio K.
Because it's a game all right they're playin'
But it ain't like on TV
Nobody shakes hands when it's over
And there ain't no referee
And the stands are full of broken men
And the field's grown up in weeds
And the winners get your children
Yeah, they do just what they please
And they'll cut you for no reason
'Cept they wanna watch you bleed
So forget everything you've heard or read or seen
It's a game all right they're playin'
But they're playin' it for keeps
