Okay, now some of this may sound stupid to some of you guys But I want you to hear me out Now look, you know, different people Think about life in different ways Lawyers think life is a big courtroom Doctors probably think life is like a big operation And bus drivers think life is, uh, a big bus I guess Who knows what the hell those guys think (You're right, Coach, right) Anyway, I always thought of life as a big football game You get, I got goals You get, I get the balls Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this England Raise a glass of perfect pass and dribble around my socks Check my shirt and drink my shots and squeeze me in the box It's a digital football thing It's a digital football thing It's a football thing I live in a land of crass hypocrisy We're gonna win the National Lottery E-I-E-I-D-O, I don't think so Now it's time, build it up Into the net, never give up 'Cause England's irie England's irie Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this Hey diddle diddle, there's a fella in the middle And I think he's pulling my string My wife's lactating and I'm spectating It's a football thing I live in a land of crass hypocrisy We're gonna win the National Lottery E-I-E-I-D-O, I don't think so Win that ball, head for the goal Shoot yourself, don't lose control Cross, cross, into the box We got the strength to take the knocks Shrimp at eleven, gun the battle hard Players on a mission, operation no card No free kicks, a presence to the opposition Swift, strong, aerial tacticians Now it's time, build it up Into the net, never give up 'Cause England's irie England's irie Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this Now it's time, build it up Into the net, never give up 'Cause England's irie England's irie Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this England Well, it's the best kept village in Europe, isn't it? King of the game on the pitch Kung Je E England Now it's time, build it up Into the net, never give up 'Cause England's irie England's irie Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this Cock the trigger, I fire like this Now it's time, build it up Into the net, never give up 'Cause England's irie England's irie
