Ballad of Bill Buckner
Driveway ceiling
GENRE
[Verse 1: Liam]
First base is the worst place when you can't handle the blame
They'll put you in the limelight
You will never be the same
And last place on the world stage is a lot when you get beat
They'll throw you out in the cold
You're just not built to take the heat
Your hands are fragile and cold
Your head won't do what its told, breakdown (And here's Mookie)
Its funny how things can fall
Like the slide of a ball, missed out
We all watched you as you crashed
A Roman hero turned to ash, a bad play
How did we all get so dumb
When we turned zero sum
Drugged by American ambition (little roller up along first)
Its a healthy competition, Oh (behind the bag it gets through Buckner!)
[Chorus: Liam]
When you lose the game
Your team puts you to shame
You think they might forget it
But its stuck inside their brains
When you drop the ball
You're bound to take the fall
Why'd we let them turn us into something that we've never been
Never been
Never been at all
When you lose the game, your team puts you to shame
[Verse 2: Liam, wes, & Both]
There is something in the seconds
There is power in the time
It takes to pull the thread and then unravel the whole line
There is darkness in the dugout
There is a spector in our souls
And there is nothing we can do to stop it once we've lost control
You have to watch for your hands
They'll betray or command a dead cause
And when your fate hits the ground
A half step brings you down, a dead pause
And now your head feels the weight
An externality of fate, of one day
They told him that we can reject you man
You'll never resurrect
The broken dream will always haunt
And it'll always be your fault oh
[Chorus: Liam & wes]
When you lose the game
Your team puts you to shame
You think they might forget it
But its stuck inside their brains
When you drop the ball
You're bound to take the fall
Why'd we let them turn us into something that we've never been
Never been
Never been at all
When you lose the game, your team puts you to shame
[Outro: Liam]
No one cares that you're sorry
Nobody wants to hear it from you
You tried you're best but your best won't do it
You lost the game and now its all ruined for you
We know that you're hurt Bill
From the blood that we all drew
We know you're feeling pain
But we want you to feel our pain too
When you lose the game
Your team puts you to shame
When you lost the game
Your team puts you to shame
First base is the worst place when you can't handle the blame
They'll put you in the limelight
You will never be the same
And last place on the world stage is a lot when you get beat
They'll throw you out in the cold
You're just not built to take the heat
Your hands are fragile and cold
Your head won't do what its told, breakdown (And here's Mookie)
Its funny how things can fall
Like the slide of a ball, missed out
We all watched you as you crashed
A Roman hero turned to ash, a bad play
How did we all get so dumb
When we turned zero sum
Drugged by American ambition (little roller up along first)
Its a healthy competition, Oh (behind the bag it gets through Buckner!)
[Chorus: Liam]
When you lose the game
Your team puts you to shame
You think they might forget it
But its stuck inside their brains
When you drop the ball
You're bound to take the fall
Why'd we let them turn us into something that we've never been
Never been
Never been at all
When you lose the game, your team puts you to shame

When you lost the game
Your team puts you to shame
