Sports!
Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! Lyrics

They take the field this bright summer morn, fresh as the day they were born.
The participants enter the competition on a radiant summer morning, rejuvenated and innocent, as if they are experiencing life anew.

Lined up in a chute, stamping in their boots. Waiting for the first light of dawn.
They are gathered in a confined space, anxiously preparing and making noise with their footwear, anticipating the start of their endeavors with the arrival of daylight.

Charging past the gate, their feet sprouting wings. It's never too late to play The Sport Of Kings.
With fervor and eagerness, they rush forward, feeling liberated and empowered, as the opportunity to engage in this noble pursuit is always available.

The fear they felt was weight on their backs. Blue takes Red and Red takes on Black.
The anxiety they experience burdens them, as different factions confront each other in competition, symbolizing opposition and conflict.

They know it all so well, to unleash this hell. So many friends that won't be coming back.
They are acutely aware of the chaos and destruction that arises in competition, acknowledging the high cost, including loss and absence of companions.

They draw the battle lines. March and sing! We can always take the time to play The Sport of Kings.
With determination, they establish boundaries for conflict and unite in spirit, affirming that there's always an opportunity to engage in this prestigious activity.

Deliverance arrived with the dawn (We'll live as brothers)
A new beginning and hope emerge with the sunrise, promoting unity and camaraderie among those involved.

What was two would now be one (Love one another)
Where once there were divisions, now harmony and togetherness transform the participants into a single entity, underpinned by mutual affection.

Who cares about the terms? We'll live and we'll not burn.
Disregarding the specifics of any agreements, they prioritize their survival and well-being, choosing a path that avoids destruction.

C tale to pass to children on down!
This narrative will be shared with future generations, serving as a moral lesson or tradition that continues to resonate.

We'll quit The Sport Of Kings. Pound swords into plowshares.
They choose to abandon the conflicts of competition and violence, opting instead to cultivate peace and productivity.

Move onto better things. See what we find there.
They seek to progress towards more meaningful and fruitful pursuits, leaving behind the tumult of their past endeavors.

They say the path to peace is paved with blood.
It is often claimed that achieving harmony and tranquility is fraught with sacrifice and suffering.

The pawning of the fleece is dragged through the mood.
The transaction or loss of innocence is mired in negative emotions, indicating the heaviness of the situation.

Is the time now right to make a deal?
A moment of reflection is posed, questioning whether it is appropriate to negotiate for peace under current circumstances.

“Coexist” they say. That's such a lie!
Proponents of harmony proclaim that peaceful coexistence is achievable, however, the artist perceives this notion as deceptive.

How can we live this way when they want us to die?
Asks how it is possible to thrive and share space with those who harbor intentions of harm or destruction.

The price we paid is borne by all the world.
The consequences of conflict and strife are widely felt, impacting every corner of society and not just the individual participants.

The ones who live are left to fight again until we see the light of dawn.
Those who survive continue to engage in struggles repeatedly until a new beginning, or hope, arises with the new day.

[INTERLUDE]
A musical interlude that provides a moment of reflection or pause within the unfolding narrative.

With a heavy, heavy heart we reject what the peace brings.
With deep sorrow and reluctance, they push back against the notion of peace, recognizing its potential drawbacks.

Tears us apart to return to The Sport Of Kings.
The attempt at harmony leads to division and conflict, driving them back to the very battles they sought to escape.

We draw the battle lines as we rise again and play The Sport...
They re-establish divisions and prepare for renewed conflict as they engage once more in this competition.
