Lyrics
They said this game belongs to us Then they sold it Stretch the halftime Sell more ads Football second Money first Concert lights Celebrity names Everything Except the game Every replay Every screen Another logo Kills the dream They sold the game They sold the soul Every goal Another product to control They sold the fans They sold the flame Nothing matters But the sponsor's name Tickets rising Past the sky Working people Left outside Vip Glass and gold Real supporters Out in the cold The badge's a brand The fan's a sale Passion lost Behind the veil Longer halftime More commercials Less football More rehearsal Backroom deals Polished smiles Power walks The extra miles One phone call One decree Justice bends For royalty When influence Moves the line Sport becomes Another sign They sold the game They sold the dream Wrapped it in A marketing machine The ball still rolls The cash still flows The people know How this story goes You can own the cameras You can own the sponsors You can own the stadium But you'll never own The game
