lyrics

I saw the open window so I strode,

From our blue line to their hash-marks unopposed.

Eyed down their goalie in hopes to even up the score,

When the time board horned this period to a close.


A chance turnover led to this rare breakaway,

But my confidence began to melt as teammates picked apart the play.


You should have knocked him off his socks instead of lifting up his stick,

Are you too soft for body contact, too fragile a flower to hit?


Jeering down long enough to hear,

Well he’s a choir boy he must be queer.


Hydrating on long tainted poweraide,

Goons groomed to posture and put down for status sake.

Coach combing strokes with his intermission speech,

Spoken to foam us at the mouths rile us up as hounds unleashed.


Finish every check cheat your elbow to their chin,

Be chippy in the corners when the refs they get distracted.


Take grey advantages in war it’s either us or them,

Go hard against the boards and show them how to play like men.

A mad scientist experiments with mice,

To perform gender on the ice.
