Lately a few big bummers
followed by a string of others
at the tail end of this awful year
From the Vernal to Autumnal
I'm lashed to the gunwale
of a lifeboat cast to sea
a mutineer
Normally I'd weather without noticing
But the combined effect has got me so low
I need a win
My soul needs satisfying
I need a win
My pride needs fortifying
I need the thrill of victory
Defeat this agony
Put a W on the end
I need a win
I need the good guys to win
I need to feel I'm right
How could I be so wrong?
I need to cheer and have it mean something
What more could I have done?
A person needs to feel they can depend
On our better angels to come through for the win
(chorus)
I need right to beat wrong
I wanna feel like my kind belong
Maybe it's only a song
I'd love to believe I was right all along
I know that it's just a game
unimportant too
In an average year
This season could've been a tonic
distraction from the coup
but hopeless Volunteers
Failed yet again to reach potential
I can't believe I let myself care
I need a win
My heart needs the blood
I need a win
Something decisively good
I need to taste champagne
get my mind off of the pain
I'll say it again
I need a win
