lyrics

Dad was watching football i was
Wishing we had a second tv
And thinking i'd never feel that way
About damn near anything so i would
Root for the bad guys and
Hope that your QB got injured i just
Wanted to watch cartoons you just
Wanted me to be more like
My sister

Behold the fighting stance of those who never really learned to fight
Studied up on dragonball but never got the kaioken quite right
Witness the awesome power of those who mostly mutter under breath
Why risk physical injury when passive aggression's never failed me yet

Shipped off to build character
Or at least one he'd prefer
The other indoor kids weren't much support
With the big kids hunting me for sport soon i'm
Knocked down by some tough guy so i
Cough up dirt and curl knuckle
Next time i try to hit below the belt
I'll focus on avoidIng the buckle

Icing my hands at first aid when they make the call
Tell my parents that i broke it playing football

Behold the fighting stance of those who never really learned to fight
Watched yu yu hakusho but never got the spirit gun quite right
Witness the awesome power of those who mostly mutter under breath
Why risk physical injury when passive aggression's never failed me

Yet rubbing it in never put the remote in my hands
Maybe if i told the truth i coulda guilted my way into karate lessons
Then i wouldn't have to stoop so low as to ever need to use my words again
But in the end, it was simpler to just sigh a lot louder and write angry songs instead

Behold the fighting stance of those who never really learned to fight
Even tried sailor moon, but never found a skirt that felt quite right
Witness the awesome power of those who mostly mutter under breath
Why risk physical injury when passive aggression's never failed me
