Football Field
Yellow skies and bright pink lights
Gussied up girls, and boys with lies
Green thumbs, green grass, and sad green eyes
The laughter was real, but not the good times
Friends, enemies, and families who try
To smile when the scoreboard makes them cry
Good times, bad times, stolen nights
Good kids, bad kids, violent crimes
The boys throw fits, but the girls still cheer
How the hell did we end up here?
I know it’s not, I know it’s not real
But still, I don’t want to ever go near
My school‘s football field
