From The End of The Bench
By 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.
