Night Football
The kids don’t play football on fields anymore,
And they don’t play it late at night.
They stand on street corners, scaring the locals;
There’s something here that’s not right?
When I was a kid we played football,
From when we got up ‘til passed nine.
I even ate extra carrots,
To make the Night Football shine.
We’d stay on the field ‘til our parents
Came storming down the road,
“You can’t see in this!” they’d shout,
but we would never be told.
Somewhere kids lost their taste
For this nocturnal football game
Playstations, X-boxes, crap telly....?
but it’s mainly the parents I blame
All the fields I pass now
remain dark and empty;
And all the kids seem bored,
and drink alcohol aplenty
Well, it’s time for a change,
Take a stand, one and all.
Lets take the alcohol back for us,
and give the kids Night Football.
