Total Football

We are conductors of sound, heat and energy

And I bet that you thought you had us figured out from the start

We are conduits of clear electricity

Now you're back on the pitch to take the apparatus apart

You're an ancient now

You're an ancient now

You're an ancient now on your own

Rebels

Teachers

Strikers

Sweepers

Better

Protected

Whenever

Collected

We are troubled by your soft curiosity

But delighted to be anti everything you were taught

Are you put off by our footloose fluidity

Have your hurt caucasian feelings left you so distraught?

Are you quite done now?

Are you quite done now?

Are you quite done now? Not at all

Workers

Authors

Poets

Stoppers

Power

Resembled

If we are

Assembled

Only through those

Who stay awake

Can an institution

Be dismantled

It is dishonest

Nay, a sin

To stand for any anthem

That attempts to drown

Out the roar of oppression

Beatles Total Football

Swapping parts and roles

Is not acting but

Rather

Emancipation

From expectation

Collectivism and autonomy

Are not mutually exclusive

Those who find discomfort

In your goals of liberation

Will be issued

No apology

And fuck Tom Brady
