From The End of The Bench

Anthony E

Can anyone hear me from the end of the Bench?

Nothing but Gatorade and a wet towel stench

Shots go in, but most shots rim out

Some subs go in, starters go out

Yet well beyond a cloud of a doubt

I'm still sitting in a one sided rout

Can anyone hear me from the end of the bench?

Been here so long, I should have to pay rent

The 3rd quarter has ended

The roster is upended

The towels have been tended

But I'm still unfriended

Can anyone hear me from the end of the bench?

One minute to go until the game ends

Then coach finally pointed, pointed at me

I'll show him, I'll show him, he'll see

What a benchwarmer can really be

I'll stop, pop, and drop, the 3

Then Coach seemed to point my way

I'll go in, I'll show him, my best D Wade

My hopes then fell, my dream then fades

Coach just pointed to get him Gatorade

Can anyone hear me from the end of the bench?

My stomach so tied up, I needed a wrench

I got coach's Gatorade, I cheered on my friends

I got a college degree, a great job, I broke all the trends

Never did see the game through coach's short lens

Coach still drives a rusty Dodge, I drive a Benz.
