Nothing Comes Easy

Long season, comes down to execution
That one is high, it is far, it is gone
Get out the rye bread and mustard (gramma!)
At the end of the day both teams played hard
Play within ourselves, it's do or die
All the right pieces, tremendous upside
Brushed back, belted, back, back, gone
I don't believe what I just saw
If you really want nothing
You can have all you want for free
But if you want to win here and now you gotta
Know nothing comes easy
Get up and get outta here
Questionable sportsmanship, the benches clear
Turn them around, got it goin
Wake up call, send it to Jerome!
These fans are rockin – We just wanted it more
You can put it on the board (yes!)
Back to the drawing board, cut down on mistakes
Continue to improve until it bounces our way
If you really want nothing
You can take all you want for free
But if you want to win here and now you gotta
Know nothing comes easy

Sending A Message

Natural born leader, the slipper still fits
Ya know what they say, marathon not sprint
They know what it takes to win
From little things to champion
Hung in there, beat a very good team
Played hard, showed heart, inches not feet
Sending a message
They're on fire, shocking the world, you can feel the electricity
Can't say enough about their intangible chemistry
See ya later, built to last
Memory of a lifetime - whattya think about that?
Coach gotta coach, player gotta play
Way upstairs, goodbye Dolly Grey
“Never thought I'd be talkin' from this perspective
But I'm really not sure what you expected
When the higher ups have all come together as a collective
With conspiracies to end my run and send me a message”
Right on the spot, quality of character
It's ok, it's the saviour
Stats can be misleading, on paper they're the team to beat
Take it to the next level, they're a physical freak!

Just Wanna Thank

It's all about winning to me
Step up now to infamy
In the can, here to stay
The missing parts have come to play
Giveth, taketh, that's a great work ethic (whoo!)
Next time around bring me back my stomach
Back to basics, head held high
Night in, night out, one play at a time
Just want to thank
You can take that to the bank
No one gave us a chance or respect
that one is going and it ain't coming back
Eyes wide, mouth drop, jump out of your seat
Bottom line, get it goin, don't lose intensity
Beyond the limits of their time
No longer live until I die
There it goes, forget it
Still to come, give them credit
Just want to thank
You can take that to the bank

Victory requires payment in advance
A champion is someone who gets when they can't
Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is
Championships aren't won at practice
It you can believe it
The mind can achieve it
When nobody cares who get the credit there is no limit
Defense wins championships, offense sells tickets
First one in
Last one out
That's what it's all about
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity
All things are difficult before they are easy
Satisfaction's a sign that your motion has stopped
Winners don't always win, they just never give up
See what you can be rather than who you are
Fans make you famous – agents make you superstars
First one in
Last one out
That's what it's all about
Deeds not words – whatever it takes
victory comes to who makes the least mistakes
First one in
Last one out
That's what it's all about

My Oh My

We talk about the big deal
(oh!) The band is on the field
It might be, it could be, it is
Maybe they just wanted it more than we did
Overcame a ton of adversity
Fly away, bon soir, elle est partie!
It is what it is – we came out to play
Total team effort at the end of the day
My, oh, my
Hot dogs and apple pie
My, oh, my
Here's mud in yer eye
High fly hit deep, track, wall, see you later
Swoop in for the kill, maybe, yes sir
Must win, statement game, backs against the wall
Step it up, it's got a chance, you got it all
Whether you win or lose, it's how you play tough
Leave it out there, nothing to be ashamed of
Break it down
Peak performers learn how to close
First and foremost, adios!
My, oh, my
Hot dogs and apple pie
My, oh, my
Here's mud in yer eye

Light Tower Power
03:47
|

I just hope both teams had fun
But in the end, there can be only one
Light tower power
Sweat plus sacrifice equals success
Unfinished business – trust the process
How you prepare is what makes a champion
Refuse to lose, respect all, fear none
Competition played on the space between your ears
There's no traffic on the extra mile, hearts are full, eyes are clear
When you play ball, leave it all, furious and fast
Out hustle, Out work, Out think, Outlast!
Hard luck is what happens when your judgment is poor
Opportunity knocks, you gotta open the door
The difference between those who attempt and achieve
Demand respect or expect defeat
Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement
“If only” are the famous last words of those who weren't

Pass On The Honours
04:23
|
|||
|
Every day you train
Every night you dream
Pass on the honours
Test ourselves mentally
Play like you're in first, train like you're in second
Got two eyes and one mouth, keep one shut and two open
The few rules we have, the fewer there are to break
You miss one hundred percent of the shots that you don't take
You play to win the game (hello!) you play to win the game
Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades
Every day you train
Every night you dream
Pass on the honours
Test ourselves physically
Every day you train
Every night you dream
Pass on the honours
Test ourselves emotionally
Excellence is a habit, you are what you do repeatedly
You're either in or out, there is no in between
It's the size of the fight in the dog, not the size of the dog in the fight
Desire and discipline – determination self sacrifice
You have to be able to center yourself, to let all your emotions go
Remember that you play with your body
As much as you play with your soul
Show me someone who's afraid to look bad and that's someone you'll beat every time
The greatest bunch of individuals but the club ain't worth a dime

One For The Ages
03:36
|

It is hard to fail but worse to have never tried to succeed
All things are possible for those who believe
When my time is gone and I have passed
Bury me upside down and mow my grass
To be the man, you got to beat the Man
You can't be as good, you got to be better than
Victory is the goal, determination gets you there
There is no elevator to success, always take the stairs
These are just phases and stages
Ready to escape our cages
Turning the page on our rages
This will be one for the ages
No one is a failure until they stop trying
What it is you sweat is just your fat crying
Grit and grind, believe and achieve
The price of greatness is responsibility
It it's gotta be it starts with me
A team above all, above all a team
Failure and rejection are steps to succeed
Get up, get loud, ya gotta believe
These are just phases and stages
Ready to escape our cages
Turning the page on our rages
This will be one for the ages

On Our Side
05:26

If you don't wanna win, you don't belong here
It ain't the hours you put in but what you put in the hours
Eyes on the rise, take flight, no fear
Whistle blows, crowds roar
On the field or on the ice or on the floor
Instead of counting the days make the days count
Get a rhythm momentum, go back for more
Better than someone else
Better than you used to be
Buy into the system
Buy into the scheme
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth
Nobody roots for Goliath, child, please
Important is the will to prepare to win
The greatest game is won within
Someone said it's just a ride
Whose team are you with are you on our side

Tale Of Two Halves
03:34
|
|||
|
This game is all mental and burned in our mind
With the utmost respect we will not be denied
Tipped hat to opponent, a win's just a win
Effort, execute, a hundred and ten
Open the window (Aunt Minnie!) here it comes
Hey hey, holy cow, domination
If you think you won already
Listen to me laugh
The story will be completed
As a tale of two halves
Long drive, way back, warning track, wall
Past the boiling point, you can touch 'em all
This could be it, goodnight Irene
Moving like a tremendous machine
Watch that baby – outta here
That's the blood, the sweat, the tears
Take one for the team, hear a pin drop
Bringin' our “A” game and cannot be stopped
Cannonball comin' to the Allegheny
They have unbelievable chemistry
The end of the story
We were watching you dance
All through the first half
Buckle your seatbelt
You want my autograph?
