This team isn’t what it once was
we need someone to save us
the crowd’s been getting quieter
till that day he appeared
Collective gasp, a whisper.
An answer to a prayer.
A replay in slow motion,
helmet off, he flicks his hair
Oh thank god for the quarterback
saving us with his damage blue and black
get on your knees he’ll get us back on track
oh, thank god for the quarterback
the other teams go scrambling,
their hands up in the air,
a replay in slow motion,
helmet off, he flicks his hair
from protégé to prophet
we have no cause to fear
we’ve finally found our leader
our team’s vision is finally clear
Oh thank god for the quarterback
saving us with his damage blue and black
get on your knees he’ll get us back on track
oh, thank god for the quarterback
here he comes
running lonely down the line
here he comes
throwing bodies left and right
here he comes
running lonely down the line
here he comes
throwing bodies left and right
