The Ghost of Vince Lombardi

Blow the whistle, storm the field
Kids rewarded for being mean
Make ‘em hurt, make ‘em pay
Is the right way to succeed

The ghost of Vince Lombardi embedded in your brain
“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing”
The ghost of Vince Lombardi says, "Be competitive
Or you're a loser"

Bullying, about time
Dragged into the open and stopped
Words are nice, don't hold your breath
Bullies are what business wants

The ghost of Vince Lombardi, where dirty tricks are cool
Someone’s gotta win and someone’s gotta lose
The ghost of Vince Lombardi rules the marketplace
He who dies with the most toys wins

Go!

This is why
This country has no soul
Has no sense of community

Every spring, hoards of kids
Mass for Easter egg hunts
Greedy parents jump the gun
And get into a great big fight

Punch the umpire, storm the ice
Lynch the referee
Little kids yell, “Wait
You said this is just a game!”

The ghost of Vince Lombardi, that tapeworm in our heads
Sinister religion is pulling all the strings
The ghost of Vince Lombardi gets drilled into our kids
More damage from this than games on TV
The ghost of Vince Lombardi, when will we ever learn?
Winning at all cost is poison
There is more to life than victory
