Verse: So I was... Rooting for my favourite team, Turns out it was just my fantasy football league! Rooting for my favourite team, Turns out it was just my fantasy football league! Chorus: But she just don't care. She was unaware, Placed all them bets, but the funds weren't there. So I was... Sitting at my favourite bar Turns out the receiver didn't get very far! Sitting at my favourite bar Turns out the receiver didn't get very far! But she just don't care. She was unaware, Placed all them bets, but the funds weren't there. So I was.. Putting out a lien on my house. Turns out the woman I love is not my spouse Putting out a lien on my house. Turns out the woman I love is not my spouse But once again she just don't care. She was unaware, Placed all them bets in my dirty underwear.

The guitarists weren’t artists but neither were the other two. The bassist was a racist and so are you! The drummer, what a bummer, and so is this: The singer of the band was a Jew! In the… Diverse universe. The worst universe. Divorced universe. Its true… That the dudes weren’t in tune and neither are you. The lyrics weren’t the clearest and neither am I. The songs were too long and so is this. The point of the band was to exist In the… Diverse universe. The worst universe. Divorced universe. It’s true… The guitarists weren’t artists but neither were the other two. The drummer what a bummer and so are. The bassist, what a racist, and so are (you/I) The singer of the band was a Jew!

Have you ever felt the badness? (I feel so bad) Of hating your job, but loving your kids, and nothing else more? The badness is not very bad. And have you ever felt the sadness (I feel so sad man) Of sitting alone, at home by the phone, always alone? The sadness is not very sad. You’re good kids. You go to the park. They smile along and you still feel that spark, You buy them some shoes, but they’re the wrong size. They laugh anyway, and that’s your prize! And have you ever felt the madness (I’m feeling so mad) Of being a man? Hold out your hand! Start up a band! The madness is not very mad. And have you ever felt the tension (I feel so sick) Of never being mentioned? Only good intentions. A silent reflection. The unsung hero a (man/dad/band) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The name of this band is Sad Dads. Sad Dads. Sad Dads.

He don’t even go out and play at the shows. He’s like Winston and Emmett. Emmett and Winston too… Samford Watling Justice Esq. III said he’s gonna give us some dough.
