GROUP STAGE GHOSTS

[Verse 1]
Check the fixtures, it's a bad draw for the red and white
Not the one from Scarborough, the one that's too polite
Heard you book the flights to the round of sixteen every time
Then you book the flight home, stuck on that same headline
It's predictable, see the pattern, see the static
Your whole game plan is diplomatic, so dramatic
Reliably average is a curse, that's a known fact
We 'bout to send the Nati back to ZRH on the fast track.

[Chorus]
Heard you drew the North, that's a cold case closed
Yeah, the boys are ready, see you Group Stage Ghosts
FIFA set the table, now we eat what's on the plate
We sendin' you home early, sorry 'bout the wait.

[Verse 2]
Next up, Qatar, yeah we saw the '22 display
Threw a party in your house then you gave the points away
Asian Cup is cute, but this ain't regional, my guy
This the world stage, look up, see the maple leaf fly
Then it's Bosnia, Zmajevi, respect the pride for sure
But one man on the pitch can't be the lock and the key to the door
"We're just happy to be here," I heard somebody say
Nah, we came to run the table, get the hell up out our way.

[Chorus]
Heard you drew the North, that's a cold case closed
Yeah, the boys are ready, see you Group Stage Ghosts
FIFA set the table, now we eat what's on the plate
We sendin' you home early, sorry 'bout the wait.

[Bridge]
And tell Infantino from his sky-high seat
He can count his money, we'll be countin' up the three
Points on points, while the VAR screen glitches on the feed
This ain't corporate football, we're a different breed.

[Outro]
From BMO to the world, hear the echo of the chants
This is red and white forever, this is our one dance.
