Football Money by Kiwi Jr. Lyrics
Football money
In a city of handsome dads
One distant wife is making plans for the future
She rings like a bell
Dinner is done by the spring
Digital lover come back to me
Where once I was blind now I see all too clearly
Isn’t it always the case?
The child is the son of the uncle
But they pay me to hit home runs
They don’t pay me to stand in the sun
Chained in the basement job well done
There’ll be no whips today
Football money
The high school bully is downed when into town
Rides our hero on horseback
Oh, tattooed featherweight
Give us your gloves, hang them on the offbeat
Nature will always see to it, left alone
Things will move in circles
So sign the contract, kid
Sign the contract, Kiwi
I wake up and go see Pa
Who tells me there’s no work to do
Milk in the icebox egg in the pan
There’ll be no whips for you
The keeper finds his groove
The outstretched hands approve
Everything has been smoothed over
Dailies on repeat, he's solid on his feet
And everyone who speaks has spoken
Football money
In a city of handsome dads
One distant wife is making plans for the future
She rings like a bell
Dinner is done by the spring
Digital lover come back to me
Where once I was blind now I see all too clearly
Isn’t it always the case?
The child is the son of the uncle
But they pay me to hit home runs
They don’t pay me to stand in the sun
Chained in the basement job well done
There’ll be no whips today
Football money
The high school bully is downed when into town
Rides our hero on horseback
Oh, tattooed featherweight
Give us your gloves, hang them on the offbeat
Nature will always see to it, left alone
Things will move in circles
So sign the contract, kid
Sign the contract, Kiwi
I wake up and go see Pa
Who tells me there’s no work to do
Milk in the icebox egg in the pan
There’ll be no whips for you
The keeper finds his groove
The outstretched hands approve
Everything has been smoothed over
Dailies on repeat, he's solid on his feet
And everyone who speaks has spoken
Football money
